I started my science journey a few years ago with a Bachelor Degree in Biological Sciences at Eastern Piedmont University
Read MoreMy project focuses on uncovering and validating non-mutational mechanisms of resistance to ALK inhibitors in ALK-positive ALCL. While targeted therapies like ALK inhibitors have significantly improved patient outcomes, treatment resistance remains a major obstacle to long-term success.
Read MoreTurner lab has established a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which gave me access to fresh tumor samples.
Read MoreToday, I’m a proud Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow under the EU Horizon Europe program—a fellowship that supports my work and enables international collaboration.
Read MoreMy name is Rebekka Salzmann, and I’m from Germany. During my Bachelor’s in Biology at the University of Hamburg, I became fascinated by the complex mechanisms that govern the small components of our bodies.
Read MoreMy doctoral research focuses on drug-tolerant persister cells (DTPs) and drug resistance mechanisms in ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and other ALK+ malignancies, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Read MoreAs part of the FANTOM EU project, I spent two weeks at CBmed in Graz, working on image analysis within the field of spatial proteomics, which was recently named Method of the Year 2024.
Read MoreAs a part of my PhD in Gerda Egger’s lab, within the Fantom network, I contributed to a recently published paper in Leukemia entitled “HDAC1 acts as a tumor suppressor in ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma: implications for HDAC inhibitor therapy”.
Read MoreCurrently, risk stratification for pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma is based on clinical factors such as stage, bulk, and systemic symptoms. Novel minimally invasive biomarkers could enhance both prognosis and treatment strategies.
