Research Focus
Research Focus of the lab is to:
- Comprehensively characterize long-lasting adverse effects of chemotherapy on the function of hematopoietic and immune systems and their responses to viral and bacterial infections.
- Investigate the role of inflammation and genetic and epigenetic changes in chemotherapy-induced long-term functional impairments of the hematopoietic and immune systems.
- Test whether - a) combined treatment with chemotherapy and different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and b) novel targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs into the primary tumors and metastatic sites, represent new clinically applicable treatment approaches which can minimize or prevent long-lasting adverse effects of therapy by significantly 1) decreasing systemic inflammation and/or 2) off-target accumulation of chemotherapy drugs.
