Quantitative Biomedicine

The Bodenmiller group develops and applies methods to analyse human tissues spatially and at the single cell level, and to understand disease states. In particular, they study cancer tissue to make discoveries that could improve treatment.

Medical Immunology

The Sallusto lab is focused on the understanding of the mechanisms that control T cell priming and regulate cytokine production and homing capacities. These questions are addressed primarily in the human system, where they combine the ex vivo analysis of memory T cell subsets with in vitro priming of naive T cells.

Exercise and Health

The Laboratory of Exercise and Health aims to unravel the metabolic and molecular pathways through which different cell types in the muscle communicate. They are working on different in vitro, in vivo and translational projects and use a wide range of technologies available at ETH.

Leukemia and Lymphoma

The Experimental hematology lab is focused on haematopoietic and immune system development, homeostasis and function, as well as on hemato-lymphoid disease. They aim to gain basic knowledge and to provoke practical new strategies for clinical intervention in states of infection, immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, malignancy, and transplantation of hematopoietic cells.

Molecular Oncology

The Aceto group is interested in understanding the fundamental molecular mechanisms that drive cancer and its metastatic progression, with a particular focus on the analysis of circulating tumor cells.

Tumor Immunotherapies

The Binder lab is studying the adaptive immune system to understand B and T cell biology in health and disease. They are especially interested in immune repertoires and focus on immunotherapy of solid tumors as well as the biology and targeting of lymphoma.

Pharmacogenomics

The overall goals of Prof. Detmar’s ongoing research are to identify and to characterize molecular targets controlling inflammatory and tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.

Regulatory T-cells as tumor-​promoting cellular partners and potential therapeutic targets in diffuse large B-​cell lymphoma

Diffuse large B-​cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy of the mature B-​cell that can affect both lymphoid and nonlymphoid organs. Since targeted treatments beyond monoclonal antibodies and CAR T-​cells are in clinical development but not yet approved, DLBCL remains fatal in a third of patients. Many DLBCLs are infiltrated by large numbers of regulatory […]
