Research summary
AI-generated

Urs von Holzen conducts laboratory-based cancer research focused on gastrointestinal malignancies, particularly esophageal adenocarcinoma (cancer of the food pipe), pancreatic cancer, and related digestive-system tumors. The work centers on testing molecular-targeted drugs and drug combinations—such as inhibitors of specific proteins involved in tumor growth and metabolism—to improve treatment responses in experimental models. Studies typically combine cell and tissue analysis with preclinical evaluation of candidate therapies.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
