Research Interest:

Two Major Projects are Currently Underway in the Laboratory.
A Cell Reprogramming Technique Has Been Used to Convert Heterogeneous Malignant Breast Cancer Cells into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Sox2/Oct4/Nanog Proteins. Dr. Wu’s Laboratory is Clarifying these Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for their Differentiation Potential and Oncogenic Properties, and Try to Develop a Novel Cell Converting Therapy for Malignant Breast Cancer Treatment.
Metastasis, the Spread of Cancer Cells from the Primary Tumor To Distant Organs, Is The Most Dreadful Development Of Breast Cancer, As Well As Other Neoplastic Diseases. Although Metastasis Contributes To Over 90% Of Human Cancer Mortality, The Molecular Mechanism Of This Process Remains Largely Unknown. Dr. Wu’s Laboratory Is In The Process Of Identifying Molecular Signatures Involved In Breast Cancer Metastasis Using Integrative Genetic, Epigenetic And Proteomic Approach, As Well As Animal Models And Clinical Specimens. 

Dr. Edgar Grinstein is a Principal Investigator at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf (Germany). He researches hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, signal transduction, gene transcription regulation. He has more than 11 years of experience as Editor-In-Chief at SAGE Publications Inc. (USA) and Libertas Academica (New Zealand), and also serves as Deputy Editor-In-Chief for Baishideng Publishing Group (USA).

Raised in a family of researchers – both parents are PhD scientists - he received his PhD summa cum laude in Molecular Biology from the Humboldt University and the Max-Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin. He has published a number of papers in high-ranking journals and received a highly regarded Research Award from Dr.-Günther- and Imme-Wille-Foundation. Dr. Grinstein qualified as Professor in Molecular Medicine at the University of Düsseldorf in 2008 and is a Visiting Professor at the University of Latvia (Latvia, European Union) since 2010.  

Dr. Grinstein`s research in the field of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, funded by research grants from German Research Foundation (DFG) and José Carreras Leukämie-Stiftung (José Carreras Foundation), has focused on markers, signal transduction and transcriptional control. Among other important findings made, his research group provided new insights into the role of the prominent surface marker AC133/CD133 (Leukemia 2015; 29: 2208-2220), that is expressed on stem/progenitor cells in normal hematopoiesis as well as on tumor-initiating cells in certain hematological malignancies. The study analyzed the control of AC133/CD133 expression in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, and revealed the impact thereof on molecular network relevant to these cells.

Research Interest: hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, cancer stem cells, stem cell markers, signal transduction, cell cycle control, regulation of apoptosis, gene transcription regulation

Grants: Principal Investigator of stem cell-related projects funded by German Research Foundation (DFG) and by José Carreras Leukämie-Stiftung (José Carreras Foundation)
