Overview

Michael Hoffmeister is affiliated with the German Cancer Research Center in Germany. Their research primarily intersects medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these broad fields, they focus extensively on oncology, pathology and forensic medicine, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, genetics, and molecular biology as primary subfields.

Their research topics cover various aspects of cancer, with a significant emphasis on colorectal cancer. Key areas of study include colorectal cancer screening and detection, genetic factors in colorectal cancer, gastric cancer management and outcomes, genetic associations and epidemiology, colorectal cancer surgical treatments, colorectal cancer treatments and studies, and the application of artificial intelligence in cancer detection.

Michael Hoffmeister has contributed to several recent scientific papers, including:

  • Physical activity and risks of breast and colorectal cancer: a Mendelian randomisation analysis (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Pan-cancer image-based detection of clinically actionable genetic alterations (2020, Nature Cancer)
  • Colorectal cancer incidence, mortality, and stage distribution in European countries in the colorectal cancer screening era: an international population-based study (2021, The Lancet Oncology)
  • Clinical-Grade Detection of Microsatellite Instability in Colorectal Tumors by Deep Learning (2020, Gastroenterology)
  • Characteristics of Early-Onset vs Late-Onset Colorectal Cancer (2021, JAMA Surgery)

Their frequent co-authors include Hermann Brenner, Jenny Chang-Claude, Peter T. Campbell, Tabitha A. Harrison, and Andrew T. Chan.

Michael Hoffmeister's work appears in various scientific publication venues. Notable journals and repositories where they have published multiple articles are bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), International Journal of Cancer, Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention, UNC Libraries, and Cancer Research.
