Overview

Andreas Strasser is affiliated with the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Australia. Their research spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with significant contributions to Medicine. Within these broad disciplines, their work focuses extensively on Molecular Biology, Immunology, Oncology, Genetics, and Cancer Research.

Strasser's research centers on several main topics, including:

  • Cell death mechanisms and regulation
  • Cancer-related Molecular Pathways
  • Immune Cell Function and Interaction
  • CAR-T cell therapy research
  • Ubiquitin and proteasome pathways
  • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Research
  • RNA modifications and cancer

The scientist has published numerous papers in prominent journals, with notable recent works such as:

  • Cell Death in the Origin and Treatment of Cancer, 2020, Molecular Cell
  • Emerging connectivity of programmed cell death pathways and its physiological implications, 2020, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death in neurological diseases, 2021, Cell Death and Differentiation
