Laboratory Assistance
Technical assistance is not just about preparing buffers and getting that n=3. It also means being there for the students, offering guidance and experimental experience, and finding solutions to technical problems.

Postdoc/Postdoctoral Fellow
I conduct data mining to propose novel transcriptomic and epigenetic diagnostic and/or
therapeutic targets for cancer patients, for subsequent functional and mechanistic evaluation
in wet lab research in MES. I also analyze OMICS data retrieved from prospective clinical trials
of Magdeburg surgery patients and thereof derived-disease models.

Ph. D Candidate
Concentrating on elucidating cancer recurrence dynamics through a platform
originating from cancer stem cells in liquid biosamples, leveraging the CRISPR
Cas methodology. Concurrently, I am endeavoring to establish the 3R paradigm,
harmonizing in vivo and in vitro disease models at the epigenetic stratum.

Ph.D. Candidate
I am a PhD student working on a co-culture model that combines colorectal cancer organoids with immune cells to better understand the interactions within the tumor microenvironment. This approach aims to uncover key mechanisms of immune evasion and tumor progression.

Pancreatic tumors exhibit one of the lowest five-year survival rates among all cancer types
As a medical student, my research concentrates on the pathophysiology of pancreatic tumors.
Specifically, I am investigating the significance of the protein BAMBI and
specific miRNAs within the signaling pathways and metabolic mechanisms of pancreatic
tumors. These components possess potential as diagnostic indicators and
targets for therapeutic intervention.

MD candidate
My research focuses on developing a rapid and standardized method for detecting miRNAs in the blood of pancreatic cancer patients. Specifically, I investigate the correlation of patient's miRNAs profile and occurrence or recurrence of the panceatic cancer.

Med. PhD student (full time)
Considering the advances in minimal-invasive surgery, the question of the immunological
differences in the postoperative course based on the surgical approach
needs to be answered. Therefore, my research focuses on the inflammatory
reaction in patients undergoing laparoscopic/robotic-assisted or open liver surgery.
By investigating primary tissue and blood samples, I want to determine prognostic factors
for postoperative complications and patient outcome.

Med. Candidate
Neurological symptoms after surgical interventions are a problem many patients suffer from.
My research focuses on different surgical and anesthetic parameters to assess their particular
importance for neurological damage during and after the intervention.
I include especially the postoperative cognitive dysfunction and the critical illness
polyneuropathy/myopathy as a result of neurological damage.

Med. PhD student (full time)
I am a medical student focusing on the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer (CRC). In
particular, I´m interested in the molecular marker collagen 10 (COLX), which promotes
invasiveness and aggressiveness of CRC by lateral information transfer and thus could
serve as a diagnostic marker as well as a therapeutic target.

Doktorandin/Graduate Student
Devoted to the research of digestive tract tumors, especially pancreatic cancer, I aim further to improve the early diagnosis rate of pancreatic cancer and promote individualized treatment of the disease through imaging and genetic research.

MD Candidate
My study is centered on examining the micro-mechanical properties of pancreatic cancer cells and their organoids, with a focus on parameters such as elastic modulus and stiffness. Furthermore, I aim to elucidate the signaling pathways that regulate the mechanical properties of pancreatic cancer cells, thereby establishing a theoretical basis for the discovery of potential therapeutic targets.

As a master's student, I investigate the therapeutic potential of taurine in the treatment of colon cancer, focusing on its effects on cancer cell growth and viability. I also study and characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to further our understanding of cancer metastasis and progression.
