Prof. Dr. Andreas Trumpp

Fol­lo­wing my bio­lo­gy stu­dies in Erlan­gen and Frei­burg (Ger­ma­ny), I com­ple­ted my dis­ser­ta­ti­on at the Euro­pean Mole­cu­lar Bio­lo­gy Labo­ra­to­ry (EMBL) in Hei­del­berg under the super­vi­si­on of Dr. Rolf Zel­ler and Prof. Tho­mas Graf. I then per­for­med post­doc­to­ral rese­arch in the labo­ra­to­ries of Prof. Gail Mar­tin and Nobel Pri­ze win­ner Prof. J. Micha­el Bishop at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Cali­for­nia at San Fran­cis­co (USA) whe­re my gre­at inte­rest in can­cer rese­arch deve­lo­ped. During 2000 – 2008 I hea­ded the “Gene­tics and Stem Cell Labo­ra­to­ry” at the Swiss Insti­tu­te for Expe­ri­men­tal Can­cer Rese­arch (ISREC) in Epalinges/Lausanne and was named Pro­fes­sor at the Eco­le Poly­tech­ni­que Fédé­ra­le de Lau­sanne (EPFL) in 2005.

Sin­ce mid-2008, I am hea­ding the Divi­si­on of “Stem Cells and Can­cer” at the Ger­man Can­cer Rese­arch Cen­ter (DKFZ) and sin­ce Fall 2008 the foun­ding Direc­tor of HI-STEM.
I am also coor­di­na­tor of the “Stem Cells in Onco­lo­gy” Pro­gram within the Ger­man Can­cer Con­sor­ti­um (DKTK) and Co-Chair of the Col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve Rese­arch Cen­ter, SFB 873 “Main­ten­an­ce and Dif­fe­ren­tia­ti­on of Stem Cells in Deve­lo­p­ment and Disease”.
