Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nadine Hempel's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis and cellular signaling pathways. Her work investigates how cellular components and signaling molecules contribute to the progression and spread of various cancers, including ovarian and pancreatic cancers. She has published research exploring the role of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter in driving metastasis and conferring dependencies in pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, her work has examined the complex regulation of calcium signaling by various proteins, including STIM, Orai, and IP3Rs, across mammalian systems.

Hempel's research also delves into the reciprocal regulation of gene expression in cancer, specifically the interplay between SOX2 and SMAD proteins, which is crucial for anoikis resistance and metastasis in cancer. Her investigations extend to the microenvironment of cancer, including the role of carcinoma-associated mesenchymal stem cells in promoting ovarian cancer heterogeneity and metastasis through mitochondrial transfer. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 39, with over 270 publications and more than 4,900 citations.
