Ulrich Schüller

Ulrich Schüller is a Professor of Neuropathology and Medical Specialist in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hamburg. He holds dual roles as Senior Physician in the Institute of Neuropathology and Head of Research Group in the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). His research focuses on molecular profiling of brain tumors, including medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, and pediatric cancers, with expertise in DNA methylation-based classifications and nanopore sequencing technologies. He leads studies on tumor heterogeneity, therapeutic vulnerabilities, and clinical biomarkers.

Key affiliations include the UKE’s Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH) and collaborative networks like the European Liquid Biopsy Society (ELBS). He contributes to international trials (e.g., HIT-MED, P-HIT) and has pioneered work on extracellular vesicle-based diagnostics and targeted therapies for pediatric brain tumors. His interdisciplinary approach integrates genomics, proteomics, and clinical data to improve diagnosis and treatment stratification.

Research interests span neuro-oncology, epigenetic profiling, and pediatric cancer biology, with publications emphasizing molecular mechanisms of tumor progression and novel therapeutic strategies. Collaborations include academic institutions globally, focusing on translational research to bridge basic science and clinical practice.
