ABOUT WALTER NICKEL
We investigate unconventional mechanisms of protein secretion from mammalian cells. Our primary model cargo protein is Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), a potent cell survival factor that is involved in tumour-induced angiogenesis. We are studying the molecular mechanism of this unusual pathway of protein secretion and make use of this knowledge to develop inhibitors that block this process. The latter are having great potential as lead compounds for drug development, for example with regard to chemoresistances FGF2 exerts in acute myeloid leukemia.For details, visit: or twitter.com/nickellab
