Marily Theodoropoulou

Marily Theodoropoulou is a full Professor and group leader at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), specifically affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying pituitary tumorigenesis, particularly in Cushing’s disease and other anterior pituitary gland tumors.

• Major research themes include pathogenesis, drug response, resistance to treatment, and identification of druggable signaling networks.
• Key projects: Molecular pathology and treatment of Cushing’s disease (SFB-TRR 205), Pituitary tumorigenesis, Molecular biomarkers, and Somatostatin receptor targeted treatments.

She leads a research team comprising doctoral researchers Julia Simon and Sicheng Tang, alongside postdoctoral and technical staff. The group operates within the Neuroendocrinology (AG Theodoropoulou) division at LMU University Hospital, addressing translational challenges in patient management for complex endocrine disorders.
