Dr. Hana Algül

Biography

Professor Hana Algül specializes in pancreatic cancer, with a particular focus on metabolism and the immune system. Her research highlights the strong association between cancer cachexia and pancreatic carcinoma, emphasizing the importance of metabolism in this context. She has identified autophagy as a key mechanism in the regulation of metabolism, and her investigations into this process relate to cachexia, utilizing in vivo models to identify new therapeutic target structures. In addition to tumor metabolism research, Professor Algül explores mechanisms of spontaneous inflammation-associated carcinogenesis in the pancreas. The objective of her research is to deepen the understanding of how the immune system affects tumorigenesis in the pancreas, thereby providing insights that serve as a basis for the development of innovative therapeutic procedures.
