We are interested in the molecular mechanisms that cause leukemias and lymphomas. The scope of our research projects ranges from the elucidation of an epigenetic suppressor mechanism to the characteriziation of leukemogenic signal transduction pathways in the malignant cells.
- 02.04.12 Sarahs and Florians manuscript on the usability of miRNAs as
diagnostic molecules is accepted in Leukemia: Congratulations! Now
the road is paved for screening of primary samples...
- 02.04.12 Ulf Kleins landmark paper on the multigenicity
of the 13q14 locus is published in Blood, and we had the opportunity to
discuss his
findings that the tumorsuppressormechanism encompasses several genes
- 11.03.12 Krzysztof adds another player to immunotolerance
in CLL: PD-1. His paper got accepted today in Plos One. Congratulations!
- 09.03.12 Christine Wolf and Hady Kiryakos join
our team - very welcome!
- 01.03.12 Our network "CancerEpiSys" got funded by the BMBF
(www.cancerepisys.org). We want to systematically analyse epigenetics
in leukemia and model the interrelation of the different layers.
Looking forward to exciting work!
