Georgia Makrypidi-Fraune

Dr. Georgia Makrypidi-Fraune is a researcher at the Institute of Pathology within the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Her research focuses on molecular pathology and oncology, with particular emphasis on genitourinary and gastrointestinal cancers. She investigates tumor biomarkers, molecular mechanisms of cancer progression, and immune responses in malignancies.

Her research interests center on:

• Molecular characterization of mismatch repair deficiencies across tumor types
• Identification of prognostic biomarkers in prostate, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers
• Tumor microenvironment interactions and immune responses
• Molecular mechanisms underlying cancer recurrence and progression

Dr. Makrypidi-Fraune's publications demonstrate consistent focus on translational cancer research, with recent work exploring homogeneous mismatch repair deficiency patterns across various carcinomas and biomarker discovery in prostate cancer. Her collaborative research contributes to understanding tumor heterogeneity and developing potential diagnostic tools.
