Philippe Krebs

Prof. Dr. sc. nat. Philippe Krebs is a Group Leader at the Institute of Tissue Medicine and Pathology, affiliated with the University of Bern. His research focuses on immunology, cancer biology, and infectious diseases, particularly the role of innate immune cells in tumor microenvironments and inflammatory conditions.

• Key Research Areas: Innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), IL-33 signaling, tumor immunology (colorectal and prostate cancer), bone marrow interactomics, and organ-on-chip models.
• Recent Trends: Utilizing AI for immune cell quantification in cancer, developing lipid-based gels for ulcerative colitis, and engineering nanoparticles to mimic natural killer cell functions for leukemia therapy.
• Techniques: Single-cell transcriptomics, organ-on-chip systems, and molecular regulation studies of immune checkpoints.
