Research Focus:
Adult brain tumors are associated with a high disease burden for patients and their families.
The biological heterogeneity of these tumors poses a major challenge in modern oncology.
Our work focuses on deciphering the molecular pathological makeup of adult brain tumors.
In doing so, we integrate classical histopathology with state-of-the-art molecular genetic approaches to identify the biological underpinnings of tumorigenesis.
We place a special emphasis on the characterization of molecular pathological diagnostic and predictive biomarkers.
In close collaboration with our clinical partners, we aim to translate innovative methods into daily clinical routine to guide personalized treatment decisions.
