Welcome to our Research Homepage!  

 

Our research group is located both at the Department of Medicine at  Salem Medical Center and the Center for Alcohol Research at the University of Heidelberg. The basic research facilities are located at the Theoretikum of the University of Heidelberg. 

 

Our long term goal is 

  • to better understand underlying molecular mechanisms of liver diseases

  • to improve diagnostic procedures and therapeutic approaches for liver diseases 

 

Actual translational research topics focus on 

  • liver diseases

  • alcoholic liver disease

  • alcohol and cancer (hepatocelluloar and colorectal cancer)

  • non-invasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis

  • fatty liver and steatohepatitis

  • iron overload disorders

  • liver stiffness 

Actual basic research topics are related to

  • molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress 

  • redox-regulation

  • detection of reactive oxygen species

  • novel models for oxidative stress and hypoxia

  • inflammation and iron homeastasis 

  • mechanisms of alcohol-mediated cancerogenesis
