New president of the scientific organization ECDO
CDS member Prof. Dr. Inna Lavrik has been elected as President of the "European Cell Death Organization". She has been a member of the organization since 2013 and has now been appointed president based on her extensive knowledge and experience. The internationally renowned scientists of the ECDO conduct research in the field of cell death.
In recent years, Prof. Lavrik and her research group have succeeded in gaining particularly important insights into understanding the regulation of the "death receptor" CD95. Based on this knowledge, it is possible to develop new therapeutic drugs, especially for the treatment of cancer.
The annual ECDO conference from September 26 to 29, 2022, will be organized, among others, by the working group "Translational Inflammation Research" headed by Prof. Lavrik.
