Research Group - Vascular Plasticity

Prof. Elisabeth Naschberger, PhD
with Christian Flierl, MTA, Qi Fang, MD, Jisheng Chen, MD, Bisan Zohud, M.Sc., Jinghao Huang, MD, and Anne Jacobsen, MD.

We are exploring cell-cell interactions in complex microenvironments with a focus on the analysis of vascular plasticity under pathological conditions. Gastrointestinal diseases such as colorectal carcinoma or chronic inflammatory bowel diseases are explored in this context but also autoimmune diseases or other diseases with an angiogenic component. We aim to identify new regulatory molecules that regulate vascular plasticity with perspectives for therapeutic intervention, improved diagnosis or patient stratification.
