My Work

Heading up a large, highly skilled and motivated research team at the interface of biomedical and translational research and focusing on personalised medicine approaches, Prof. Prehn is the Director of the RCSI Centre for Systems Medicine (http://www.systemsmedicineireland.ie/).

Prof. Prehn holds two prestigious SFI Investigator programs focusing on molecular subtyping and biomarker and therapeutics development for the treatment of colorectal cancer, totalling €3M. He has coordinated several EU projects such as the Systems Medicine Collaborative Project APO-DECIDE (www.apodecide.eu; €3 Million, 7 European partners including 3 SMEs) which featured in the 'H2020 Successes' EU publication.

He collaborates with Oncologists, Gastroenterologists, GI surgeons, Neurosurgeons and Pathologists in Ireland and internationally (Imperial College London, ICR, LMU, Dana Farber). The group is one of the few groups world-wide that have successfully begun to translate dynamic systems models of cell survival and apoptosis signalling into a clinical context, and has filed several patent applications.
