Research Overview
The junior research group "Immunmodulation" investigates the complex interplay between radiation-induced tissue damage, immune activation, and the development of therapy-associated side effects. A particular focus lies on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying radiation-induced lung toxicity, aiming to identify novel therapeutic targets that enable selective protection of normal tissue while maintaining effective tumor control. In addition, the group pursues translational research approaches focused on the identification of predictive biomarkers to systematically assess the risks and therapeutic potential of combined radio-immunotherapies and to improve patient stratification.
