Overview

Timo Lassmann is affiliated with the Telethon Kids Institute in Australia, contributing significantly to research in the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, as well as medicine. Their work spans multiple subfields including molecular biology, immunology, genetics, oncology, and cancer research.

Their research covers a range of topics focused primarily on cancer immunotherapy and biomarkers, genomics and rare diseases, immunotherapy and immune responses, immune cells in cancer, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, cancer genomics and diagnostics, and immune cell function and interaction.

Recent publications authored or co-authored by Lassmann include:

  • Systematic assessment of tissue dissociation and storage biases in single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq workflows (2020), published in Genome Biology
  • Characteristics of TCR Repertoire Associated With Successful Immune Checkpoint Therapy Responses (2020), published in Frontiers in Immunology
  • Comparative transcriptomics of primary cells in vertebrates (2020), published in Genome Research
  • Temporally restricted activation of IFNβ signaling underlies response to immune checkpoint therapy in mice (2022), published in Nature Communications
  • The bone marrow microenvironment of pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia at single-cell resolution (2020), published in Scientific Reports

Lassmann frequently publishes in journals such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Scientific Data
  • Frontiers in Immunology
  • Stem Cell Research & Therapy
  • Bioinformatics

They collaborate regularly with a group of co-authors including Vanessa S. Fear, W. Joost Lesterhuis, Catherine A. Forbes, Richard Lake, and Alistair R. R. Forrest.
