Meik Körner

Meik Körner is an Assistant physician in training at the University of Hamburg's Faculty of Medicine, working within the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). His clinical work focuses on pediatric hematology and oncology with specialization in neuro-oncology and molecular tumor characterization.

Dr. Körner's research interests center on pediatric brain tumors, tumor microenvironment characterization, and molecular profiling of childhood cancers. His work combines clinical pediatric oncology with advanced genomic and transcriptomic analysis to understand tumor biology and improve treatment approaches for children with cancer.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on molecular characterization of pediatric central nervous system tumors, particularly examining the immuno-stromal components in low-grade gliomas and molecular subtypes in ependymomas. This research trend shows increasing sophistication in genomic analysis techniques applied to rare pediatric tumor types.

As an active researcher in pediatric oncology, Dr. Körner collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across oncology, neurology, and molecular biology to advance understanding of childhood cancers. His work contributes to the UKE's mission of integrating clinical care with cutting-edge research in pediatric hematology and oncology.
