Research

 

Research activities

Specific areas of research currently encompass therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics and pharmacodynamics with particular focus on molecular biomarkers to achieve personalized immunosuppression in transplantation (e.g. donor-derived cell-free DNA) as well as genotype-directed cancer care using ctDNA; research recently published in the American Journal of Transplantation (Oellerich M et al, Absolute quantification of donor-derived cell-free DNA as a marker of rejection and graft injury in kidney transplantation: Results from a prospective observational study) was among the top 10% most downloaded papers in 2019.
