Ziel: Untersuchung der Funktion des NF1 Gens. In welche Signaltransduktionskaskaden ist Neurofibromin eingebunden? 

Mitarbeiter: J. Reuss*, C. Hagenlocher*

Ziele: Wir untersuchen primäre Hirntumore auf molekulare Veränderungen, die als Marker für eine präzisere diagnostische und prognostische Einordnung dienen können. Diese Marker werden zugleich auf ihre Eignung als neue Therapie-Ziele geprüft. Wichtig ist uns gleichzeitig die frühe Anwendbarkeit der neuen Biomarker in der Diagnostik. Dazu entwickeln und optimieren wir stetig moderne diagnostische Verfahren wie die Nanopore-Sequenzierung („third-generation-sequencing“), single-cell-Sequenzierung oder spatial transcriptomics. Daneben wird am Aufbau und Etablierung einer auf KI-basierten Methoden in der Mikroskopie gearbeitet.

Ein Schwerpunkt dabei ist die Erforschung von Meningeomen im Rahmen des nationalen Konsortiums „Aggressive Meningeome“ und Glioblastomen im Rahmen des SFB „UNITE Glioblastoma“.

In Zusammenarbeit mit unseren klinischen Partnern führen wir die molekularen Analysen für klinische Studien und Register durch (N2M2, MNP Int-R, PTT2.0, LOGGIC, EORTC-1634).

Unsere Forschung wird unterstützt von der Deutschen Krebshilfe, der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft, der Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung, der Deutschen Kinderkrebsstiftung, der Hertie-Stiftung, der Brain Tumor Charity und der Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

Gern nehmen wir Initiativbewerbungen oder sonstige Anfragen zu Projekten (Bachelor, Master, Promotion) entgegen.

Ziele: Weiterentwicklung des Gehirntumor-Classifiers als Unterstützung großer nationaler und internationaler klinischer Studien durch Bereitstellung einer molekularen Referenzdiagnostik. Einführung von relevanten molekularen Markern in den klinischen Alltag.
