Andreas Brech

Andreas Brech is a Professor at the Section for Physiology and Cell Biology, University of Oslo. His research focuses on cellular transport mechanisms, particularly autophagy, endocytosis, and exosome biology, with implications in cancer pathogenesis and organelle communication.

• Institutional Affiliation: University of Oslo, Norway
• Academic Rank: Professor

Research Interests span autophagy regulation, lysosomal degradation, and intercellular communication via gap junctions and exosomes. His work explores how membrane trafficking proteins (e.g., ESCRT, TRIM27, SNAP29) influence mitochondrial fitness, cancer cell invasiveness, and immune cell function.

Recent Publications highlight autophagy's role in hypoxia adaptation, tumor growth, and immune modulation. Key themes include ESCRT-III in cytokinesis, TRPML1 in NK cell metabolism, and Connexin43 degradation in tumor microenvironment regulation.
