Dr. Varun Gupta presented our work on the perioperative safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy in resectable NSCLC at the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) 2026 Annual Meeting in Athens, Greece. The study provides real-world evidence supporting the surgical safety of modern neoadjuvant treatment strategies in lung cancer.

We are pleased to welcome Annika Albrecht as a visiting undergrad researcher through the DAAD RISE Germany program this summer. Annika joins our group from the Ohio State University, United States and will contribute to the KMT9i study. We look forward to supporting her scientific development and to the exchange of ideas that international research collaborations make possible. Welcome to Cologne and to the lab, Annika!

Yejin presented her work as a poster at the IPMM Days (March 30–31, 2026).

We warmly congratulate Yejin on this achievement and look forward to her continued progress.

Celebrating the close of the year and the beginning of our journey as a new research group.
