Group Leader, “Metabolism and Radiation Response”, Institute of Cell Biology (Tumor Research), University Hospital, Essen, Germany

My lab studies how metabolic changes triggered by ionizing radiation and microenvironmental stress (e.g., hypoxia) support survival of tumor cells and promote radiation resistance. Using Biolog’s PMM plates and the Odin system, we are able to generate functional metabolic profiles of tumor and normal cells in combination with radiation to pinpoint exploitable dependencies and therapeutic vulnerabilities.
