Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Gerhard Müller-Newen

The laboratory of Prof. Müller-Newen studies cytokine signaling through the JAK/STAT pathway which is often deregulated in inflammation and cancer. The temporal and spatial organization of JAK/STAT signaling is analyzed in living cells using advanced microscopy techniques. Another focus is the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling by the use of recombinant receptor fusion proteins.
