Fabian V. Filipp is a professor for Systems Biology and Cancer Metabolism focused on the connection between epigenomic master regulators and their control over central metabolism as an opportunity for diagnosis and treatment of therapy-resistant cancers. In addition to breakthroughs in cancer research, Filipp is dedicated to promoting advanced graduate training and student mentoring. Filipp has developed cutting-edge training courses on cancer systems biology and teaches in metabolic engineering and big data in precision medicine. Collaborative team science includes the U.S. and Germany strengthening international bridges between American and European researchers. The project German-U.S. Science Alliance on Precision Medicine and Cancer Prevention is part of the Deutschlandjahr USA 2018/19—Year of German-American Friendship. This initiative is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, implemented by the Goethe-Institute, and supported by The Federation of German Industries (BDI).
