Short summary of activities and expertise | In my PhD research, I investigated an RNase Regnase-1 in the context of inflammation, cell differentiation and carcinogenesis. Focus of my current studies is on cancer therapy and biology. I use CRISPR/Cas9 functional genetic screens to find predictive biomarkers for precision medicine treatment of breast and head and neck cancer. In particular, I investigate sensitivity genes to HER2-targeting T-DM1 agent and to DNA-damaging drugs. |
