The Hedtrich Lab strives to understand and tackle inflammatory and genetic diseases of human epithelia with a current focus on skin, lungs, and intestine. As we firmly believe that human-based models are critical to close the current translational gap in biomedical research, my lab’s research relies on complex human-based organ- and organ-on-chip…

The Haas group develops and applies novel multimodal single-cell and spatially-resolved technologies to study the complex etiology of hematological cancers and their interaction with the immune system.

Hematopoiesis describes the process of blood formation and is sustained by the activity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells throughout our lifetime. While our understanding of stem cell biology continues to grow, it still remains challenging to study the in vivo activity of individual stem cells in humans.

Research of Molecular Epidemiology Unit at the Berlin Institute of Health and the Charité is focused on epigenetic modifications that occur in close interaction between the individual genetic background and environmental exposure and potentially contribute to increased disease risks. Thereby, we are in particular interested to identify key events…
