ABOUT CAR

Our long term goals are 

• to better understand underlying molecular mechanisms of liver diseases

• to improve diagnosis and therapy of liver diseases 

Actual translational research topics focus on 

• liver diseases

• alcoholic liver disease

• cancer (hepatocellular and colorectal cancer)

• non-invasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis, fatty liver and hepatic iron overload

• fatty liver and steatohepatitis

• non-invasive detection of liver iron

• 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

• biomechanics and extracellular matrix (fibrosis and cirrhosis)

Our work is presently funded by the DFG and NIH 

Former financial supporters include DFG, NIH ,Dietmar-Hopp Foundation and the Manfred-Lautenschläger Foundation.
