-In his current PhD research, Fabian is exploring tumour tissue microbiomes, broadening the scope beyond colorectal cancer to various other cancer types. He focuses on studying microbiomes in low-bacterial biomass samples and establishing connections between microbial composition and molecular tumour characteristics. His research aims at deciphering the complex interactions between host cells and tissue-resident microbes, potentially illuminating new facets of cancer biology.
