Prof. Michael Boettcher is a Professor in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Heidelberg University's Medical Faculty Mannheim. His lab, Immunomodulation, focuses on immune cell interactions in diseases like cancer and inflammation, with emphasis on neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and CAR T-cell therapies. Research spans surgical diseases (transplantation, wound healing), pediatric tumors (neuroblastomas, nephroblastomas), and immune modulation in tumor microenvironments.
Key areas include: (1) NETs' dual role in infection protection vs. thrombosis/immunopathology, (2) CAR T-cell development for childhood cancers, and (3) translational studies on sepsis biomarkers (e.g., cfDNA, DNases).
Publications highlight innovations in adhesion prophylaxis, CDH surgical management, and AI-driven surgical decision-making. His work bridges basic immunology with clinical pediatric surgery solutions.
