  • David Vaughan
  • K Schuschel
  • Hasan Issa
  • Dirk Heckl

Klaus Rohde published regularly in venues such as:

  • Klinische Pädiatrie
  • Oncogene
  • Entrepôt pour orphelin
  • Experimental Hematology

Some of their recent publications included:

  • "Correction: Therapeutic targeting of necroptosis by Smac mimetic bypasses apoptosis resistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells" (2024, Oncogene)
  • "Deciphering the Epigenetic Landscape of Relapsed Myeloid Leukemia in Children with Down Syndrome" (2024, Klinische Pädiatrie)
  • "EQUILIBRIA OR NOT? HOW WILL DEEP-SEA MINING AFFECT BENTHIC MARINE COMMUNITIES?" (2023, Entrepôt pour orphelin)
  • "Relapse Mechanisms in Children with Down Syndrome and Myeloid Leukemia" (2025, Klinische Pädiatrie)
  • "3160 - TRACING THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF MYELOID LEUKEMIA IN DOWN SYNDROME" (2025, Experimental Hematology)

Their studies into leukemia featured investigations of cell death mechanisms and epigenetic changes, particularly focusing on acute myeloid leukemia and its relapse patterns in children with Down Syndrome. Their ecological research included the effects of deep-sea mining on benthic marine communities.
