Main Research Interests
Since over one decade we are coordinating the Viennese JAK-STAT Consortium which has established itself as one of the leading groups worldwide in the study of signal transmission by the Janus kinases (JAKs) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). In particular, the generation and analysis of advanced transgenic mouse models has enabled the Consortium to contribute substantially to our understanding of the functions of JAKs and STATs in human disease. The work is of highly interdisciplinary in nature, with contributions from genetics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and human medicine. The results from Vienna and elsewhere have led to the recognition of the JAK-STAT pathway as one of the twelve core pathways in the initiation and progression of cancer and as one of the key pathways in the defence against infections. Our major interest is the JAK-STAT signaling network at the interface of immunity, inflammation and cancer. Currently the consortium is compiling NGS data sets for the generation of an integrated map of STAT1-6 and TYK2 dependencies on the chromatin architecture of immune cells. The focus of our group is on tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) and STAT1, the founder members of the JAK and STAT family, respectively.
