Description of the research topic:
The development of cancer associates with a major alteration of various metabolic processes both in the tumor cells and throughout the whole body. Hence, research addressing the alterations of these processes may shed light on sensitive parts of tumor metabolism that could serve as a promising starting point for the development of new anti-tumor strategies. In our group, we are mainly focusing on the role of cellular self-digestion, i.e. autophagy and lipid metabolism, in tumor growth. Our research is carried out in Drosophila and human cell cultures. Our work uses a broad spectrum of methods from the field of genetics, cell and molecular biology and physiology to understand how these metabolic processes are regulated and involved in cancer development. We also aim to understand how disruption of these processes affects the communication between cancerous and non-transformed cells.
