His training both as basic scientist and as practicing clinical pathologist provides the ideal skillset for combining these two worlds to achieve a comprehensive transition from bench-to-bedside. He is renowned for his open, gifted, and creative mind. Combined with his profound knowledge and expertise in breast cancer, he has significantly contributed to optimizing the prognostic and predictive power of breast pathology. He focuses on the potential breast cancer precursor Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) and invasive breast cancer (IBC). He is a very strong team player with excellent communicative skills.
His overarching research focus is to develop new strategies to substantially improve the prognostic and predictive power of breast cancer pathology and to understand the underlying biology. Ultimately, he aims to define with high accuracy who to treat, how to treat and, if so, for what benefit and so achieve the best benefit-to-harm ratio for women with DCIS and IBC.
