The professorship Medical Systems Biology of the University Cancer Center (UCC) Dresden is specialized in the scientific field of functional genomics and genome editing. We are analyzing mammalian cancer and stem cells by using diverse genetic tools with the aim to identify, functionally characterize and to repair disease-related genes. Our research group is distinguished by numerous national and international collaboration partners, which guarantee a high level of innovation and interdisciplinarity. As part of the BMBF-GO-Bio project “RecTech”, a genome-editing technology platform is to be developed based on the technology of modified site-specific DNA recombinases.
