Lena Schorr is a PhD student at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, specializing in Microbiome and Cancer research. Her work focuses on the bacteria residing in primary tumors and their roles in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Lena employs Organoid and Organ-On-Chip models to elucidate bacterial functions and validate their impact on cancer development. By exploring the interactions between bacterial communities and cancer cells, she seeks to uncover novel insights into cancer progression and potential therapeutic targets, contributing to a deeper understanding of the tumor microenvironment and its implications for cancer treatment and patient outcomes.
