Research Group HampeLab
What happens inside our cells before a liver disease even becomes noticeable? And how can these early changes be used to develop better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches? The Hampe Group investigates these fundamental questions, with a particular focus on the metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Using cutting-edge technologies – from single-cell and spatial genomics to AI-driven analysis and biomarker research – we aim to gain a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms. Our goal is to develop innovative approaches for earlier detection and more targeted treatments.

Many human diseases arise from complex interactions between different organs and cellular systems. Traditional organ-centric models often fail to fully capture these dynamics. Our interdisciplinary and international team of researchers is committed to developing innovative therapies for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases by deciphering the molecular circuits involved in organ crosstalk. We focus on the gut-liver axis in liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, acute liver failure, and cholestatic liver diseases. Additionally, we investigate how neuro-immune communication within the GI tract regulates complex processes such as inflammation and carcinogenesis. By leveraging state-of-the-art imaging and advanced multi-omics technologies, we aim to unravel the intricate interactions between cellular systems

Research Group Clinical Studies Gastroenterology
The primary research focus of our group is Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Despite recent advancements, achieving optimal treatment remains challenging, and clinical studies are essential to improving patient well-being in this multifactorial disease. Additionally, we conduct clinical studies on a broad spectrum of liver diseases. On the following pages, we present a selection of our clinical projects
