Paula Tabares

Dr. Paula Tabares is a researcher at the University of Würzburg, affiliated with the Experimental Stem Cell Transplantation Laboratory and the Beilhack Lab. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from Germany, focusing on marine sponge-derived metabolites. Her work bridges immunology and oncology, with emphasis on immunotherapy development for multiple myeloma. Key contributions include establishing flow cytometry panels for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection and studying CD28 superagonist effects on regulatory T-cells.

Research Interests:
- Immunological activity of natural products and synthetic molecules
- Tumor microenvironment dynamics in multiple myeloma
- Regulatory T-cell modulation via CD28 superagonists
- Liquid biopsy applications for real-time cancer monitoring
- Biomarker development in hematologic malignancies

Publications highlight advancements in:
- STAT1 signaling in bone marrow failure
- JAM-C as a therapeutic target in myeloma
- Dose-dependent safety profiles of immunotherapeutic agents
- MRD-guided clinical strategies

Current projects focus on integrating flow cytometry and liquid biopsy techniques for precision oncology, while exploring novel immunomodulatory approaches to combat cancer immune evasion.
