Helmuth Gehart, PhD is Assistant Professor for Tumor and Stem Cell Dynamics at the Institute of Molecular Health Sciences of ETH Zurich. The Tumor and Stem Cell Dynamics team is interested in the common and distinctive features of adult tissue stem cells and tumor cells with particular focus on cellular plasticity. The Gehart group utilizes organoid technology, mouse models and purpose-built reporter systems to understand the drivers of fate change in normal and malignant tissue. Furthermore, the team is applying this knowledge to build new organoid systems and organoid-based assays to enable application of organoid technology for personalized medicine. For example, the team recently developed an organoid system for pleural mesothelioma and demonstrated its utility for drug testing and evaluation of personalized treatment options.
