Title
Prof. Dr. rer. nat.
Dipl.-Ing. for biotechnology
Core Area
Research focus
Particle Radiation (investigating the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in mono/ co-cultures, organotypic models, organ slice cultures and animal models)
Experimental radiotherapy (investigating in established and primary tumor models in vivo/ ex vivo, biomarkers for radiosensitivity, tumor micromilieu, and combined radio-oncological therapy modalities)
Animal studies
Applicant since 2012, principle investigator since 2017
Mouse models: NMRI nu/nu, C3H, C57BL/6
Tumor models: human primary & established Glioblastoma multiforme and head/neck squamous cell carcinoma subcutaneous and orthotopically transplanted, injection of organoid cultures from GI tract
Irradiation experiment with X-rays, photons, protons and heavier ions
Animal studies investigated I) the DNA repair protein γH2AX as a predictive marker for the intrinsic radiosensitivity, II) the local tumor control following radio(chemo)therapy, III) the cancer stem cell population of tumor cultures via a Limited Dilution Assay, IV) the immunogenicity of tumor models and V) the tumor micromilieu and hypoxia
