Felix Hartmann

Dr. Felix Hartmann is a Young Investigator Group Leader at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) specializing in Systems Immunology and Single-Cell Biology. His lab develops cutting-edge technologies for spatial single-cell analysis of cancer metabolism, including multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI-TOF) and mass cytometry.

• Focus: Metabolic interactions between immune cells and tumor cells
• Key technologies: MIBI proteomic imaging, organoid culture systems
• Clinical collaborations: Colorectal cancer, melanoma, breast cancer

Research Themes
Combines Systems Immunology with Single-Cell Biology to study metabolic regulation of immune responses. Uses machine learning to analyze high-dimensional imaging datasets for identifying metabolic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cancer immunotherapy.

Key Contributions
Developed metabolic regulome profiling methods, pioneered spatial analysis of immune cell metabolism, and established clinical trial collaborations for immunomonitoring.
