Einleitungstext
My research group at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) investigates cancer metabolism and metabolic plasticity during metastatic progression. My research focuses on identifying metabolic vulnerabilities in pancreatic cancer and other entities across the different stages of the metastatic cascade. To uncover novel therapeutic targets for organ metastasis, we employ state-of-the-art technologies, including in vitro and in vivo CRISPR screening approaches. In addition, my laboratory integrates comprehensive metabolomics and lipidomics analyses of cancer cells, tumor tissues, and other biological samples to characterize dynamic metabolic adaptations and capture the mechanisms underlying metabolic plasticity during cancer progression. Funding for this position is provided by the “UMG2032 - Excellence through Focus” project, funded by zukunft.niedersachsen, the joint science funding program of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation.
