| Memorial book and research project: The Munich "euthanasia" victims | Between 2011 and 2017, the working group Psychiatry and Welfare under National Socialism in Munich, together with the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism and the district of Upper Bavaria, compiled a memorial book for the Munich victims of National Socialist patient murders, which was published by Wallstein Verlag in June 2018. The book honors the victims by mentioning their names and dates of life. After a long period of silence, the memory of the murdered people becomes part of the collective memory of the city of Munich. Life stories tell of the lives and deaths of the victims. The historical context and the aftermath of the National Socialist 'euthanasia' murders in Munich and Upper Bavaria are described in detail. |

| TherVacB - A therapeutic vaccine against hepatitis B | The human immune system appears to have the ability to clear acute HBV infection in approximately 90 % of infected adults. An effective virus-specific B and T cell response is considered a key factor in viral control and eventual resolution of HBV infection. Unfortunately, B and T cell responses are barely detectable and functionally impaired in chronic HBV infection. The mission of TherVacB is to overcome HBV-specific immune tolerance and restore antiviral B-cell and T-cell responses through therapeutic vaccination to finally cure HBV. |
