Lengerke Lab
The Lengerke lab studies therapy resistance and intratumor heterogeneity, with specific focus on stemness and the interactions between cellular subpopulations with immune cells and the microenvironment. The group combines molecular analyses with functional investigations in mouse, zebrafish and PDX models and aims to transfer research insights to clinical trials in patients. The long-term goal is to improve cure in patients with malignancies by developing innovative therapies to target cancer-initiating cells in non-active disease phases.
