Overview

Ralf Küppers is affiliated with the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, focusing on research within medicine and immunology. Their work spans several interconnected subfields, including immunology, pathology and forensic medicine, genetics, oncology, and molecular biology.

The research topics addressed by Küppers primarily include lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, chronic lymphocytic leukemia research, immune cell function and interaction, T-cell and B-cell immunology, viral-associated cancers and disorders, CAR-T cell therapy research, and cancer genomics and diagnostics.

Recent publications authored or coauthored by Küppers include the following:

  • "Molecular biology of Hodgkin lymphoma," 2021, Leukemia
  • "Genomic and epigenomic insights into the origin, pathogenesis, and clinical behavior of mantle cell lymphoma subtypes," 2020, Blood
  • "The genomic and transcriptional landscape of primary central nervous system lymphoma," 2022, Nature Communications
  • "An atlas of cells in the human tonsil," 2024, Immunity
  • "Systematic memory B cell archiving and random display shape the human splenic marginal zone throughout life," 2021, The Journal of Experimental Medicine

Küppers frequently publishes in journals such as Blood, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Leukemia, Frontiers in Immunology, and Haematologica.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Küppers include Marc A. Weniger, Bettina Budeus, Martin-Leo Hansmann, Reiner Siebert, and Marc Seifert.
