]]> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu dürfen, dass das Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg Herrn Prof. Dr. Robert Zeiser mit dem Landesforschungspreis 2026 für Angewandte Forschung ausgezeichnet hat.

Der mit insgesamt 200.000 Euro dotierte Preis ist die am höchsten dotierte Forschungsauszeichnung eines Bundeslandes und würdigt alle zwei Jahre exzellente wissenschaftliche Leistungen über alle Disziplinen hinweg.

Die Jury würdigt damit Prof. Zeisers Arbeit an der Schnittstelle zwischen immunologischer Grundlagenforschung und klinischer Anwendung. Seine Forschung setzt neue Maßstäbe inder Stammzelltransplantation und der Immuntherapie. Das Ziel der Arbeit von Prof. Zeiser ist es, neue Erkenntnisse über Immunvorgänge bei Tumorerkrankungen und Abstoßungsreaktionen nach Transplantationen direkt in klinische Studien zu überführen. Diese Forschung hat bereits:

  • zu innovativen Behandlungsstrategien geführt.
  • die Therapieoptionen für Patientinnen und Patienten nachhaltig verbessert.
  • Einfluss auf neue Therapien und veränderte Behandlungsleitlinien genommen.

Die offizielle feierliche Verleihung des Preises findet am 11. Juni 2026 in Stuttgart statt.

Weitere Informationen finden Sie hier https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/service/presse/pressemitteilung/pid/landesforschungspreise-2026-nach-tuebingen-mannheim-und-freiburg-1

Wir gratulieren Robert Zeiser herzlich zu diesem großartigen Erfolg und sind stolz, solche exzellente Forschung an unserem Institut zu wissen.

Herzliche Grüße

Ihr

Mertelsmann Foundation & BioThera Roland Mertelsmann Team

One For All: A Unified Approach to Classification and Self-Explanation

His explainability approach One For All is a unified framework that jointly optimizes classification and explanation without the overhead of separate explainability models. This is particularly crucial in health and oncology, where increasing trust among doctors is essential for the adoption of AI-based decision support.
