NF-κB Transcription Factors in B-Cell Lymphomagenesis

Professor Klein has been working on the molecular basis of B-cell development and lymphomagenesis throughout his career. Following his PhD at the University of Cologne, he moved to Columbia University where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016. In 2017, he joined the University of Leeds, where he continues his work on elucidating the oncogenic mechanisms that cause malignant transformation of B cells. Currently, a main focus of his lab lies on understanding the roles of the individual NF-κB transcription factor subunits in this process.
