Clinical Proteomics

The research area "Clinical Proteomics" under the direction of Prof. Dr. Barbara Sitek deals in its translational research with the development and application of proteomics methods for handling clinical questions. The connection to the Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bochum with its clinical focus on intensive care medicine creates the important link between the successful analytical proteomics platform and clinical application. Of great interest is the identification of disease-specific biomarkers and therapeutic targets as well as the elucidation of pathological relationships at the protein level. In addition to questions from intensive care medicine, further research focuses on cancer and infectious diseases as well as immunological questions
