The newly established working group of Experimental Endocrinology and Tumor Cell Metabolism is situated at the intersection of basic science and translational medicine. The focus is on the molecular and metabolic characterization of endocrine tumors, as well as the investigation of hormonal signaling pathways and metabolic reprogramming in tumor initiation and progression. The goal is to develop the mechanistic foundations for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and to translate these into clinical application in close collaboration with clinical partners. In particular, sex-specific aspects play an important role in our research and are addressed in various preclinical models.
