Elucidating microenvironmentally mediated mechanisms of colorectal carcinogenesis (in English)
We are pleased to announce a lecture by Dr. Jens Puschhof, Principal Investigator of the Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Laboratory (EMIL), DKFZ Heidelberg
The lecture is part of our lecture series focused on our new research institute M3.
The talk title will be: “Elucidating microenvironmentally mediated mechanisms of colorectal carcinogenesis”
Dr. Jens Puschhof is group leader of the Epithelium Microenvironment Interaction Laboratory in the Microbiome and Cancer Division at German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany. His group studies the role of microenvironmental factors in colorectal carcinogenesis using organoid- and organ-on-a-chip co-cultures. Dr. Puschhof graduated with an MSc in Oncology from the University of Oxford and obtained his PhD with highest distinctions from Utrecht University. During his PhD and postdoc in Hans Clevers’s group at the Hubrecht Institute, he and his colleagues developed organoid models of the snake venom gland and made seminal contributions to the understanding microbial impacts on colorectal cancer development.
The lecture will take place:
