Cutaneous Lymphoma and Tumormicroenvironment

Prof. Dr. med. Christina Mitteldorf

  • Cutaneous lymphomas: Improvement of diagnostic methods for early tumor detection and lymphoma classification. Systematic and standardized evaluation of checkpoint and targeted molecules.
  • Cutaneous Pseudolymphomas: We investigate human samples by histology, immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics to find discriminating factors from cutaneous lymphomas.
  • Tumormicroenvironment and PD1 and PD-L1 expression in cutaneous neoplasms: We use immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence multi stains to characterize the composition of the TME and to image relations between different cell types. One intention is to localize targeted molecules (e.g. PD-L1) on different cell types.
  • Digital image analysis: We use digital image analysis to evaluate the expression of surface proteins.    
  • Development of a digital learning platform for dermatopathology
