Talk at the Stem Cell Niche Conference in Copenhagen

May 28, 2016/in Uncategorized /by Kai

Kai gave a talk at the “Stem Cell Niche – Development and Disease” Conference organized by the NovoNordisk Foundation. The aim of the conference is to provide a niche for presentations of the latest basic research in stem cell and developmental biology and to stimulate exchange of ideas by providing ample time for both formal and informal discussions.

The conference took place at the beautiful Favrholm campus, which is situated 30 km north of Copenhagen in lush rural surroundings.

RESEARCH GOALS

The Kessenbrock Lab studies cellular communication in single cell resolution in the context of normal tissue homeostasis and in breast cancer. We want to understand how stem cell behavior is extrinsically regulated by the microenvironment of the mammary stem cell niche and learn how the molecular composition of the niche changes during tumorigenesis. Our interdisciplinary research approach will identify biomarkers for early detection and may ultimately lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic approaches to treat or even prevent breast cancer before it develops.
