Dr Roman Fischer

Roman is an Associate Professor at the Target Discovery Institute and Centre for Medicines Discovery in the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford.

Roman leads two proteomics-focussed laboratories: the Discovery Proteomics Facility and the Clinical Proteomics Group. He focusses on spatial and single cell proteomics as well as high-throughput proteomics to decipher the spatial proteome organisation in disease, with a focus on cancer and its triggered immune response in specific cell compartments of the immune system.

As part of REACT, Roman will use the newest proteomics methods to map the cell type specific surface proteome in the heart, down to single cell level and spatial dependencies of the organ super-structure. This approach will resolve molecular features that can be exploited for directing drug delivery in certain cell types and areas.
