The Conrad Lab

Our labs @HelmholtzMunich and @TU_Muenchen are interested in how metabolic rewiring impacts #ferroptosis and how this can be harnessed for #drugdesign

[The Conrad Lab @Conrad_Lab]

We are beyond excited to share our latest work on the role of PRDX6 in #ferroptosis out today in @MolecularCell and spearheaded by two exceptional postdocs in our lab, Junya and @eikan_em !
