Catherine Hagedorn

Laboratory Technician

I am an experienced Laboratory Technician (“Biomedizinische Analytikerin HF”) with deep expertise in a wide range of state-of-the art research and diagnostic methods. I was a core team member of Liver4Life from 2017 to 2020 at Wyss Zurich and previously contributed to different projects at Dublin City University in Ireland, where I covered a broad spectrum of assays in biochemistry, molecular biology and cellular biology.

My current role in the Systems Pathology – Functional Tumor Pathology lab involves establishing and biobanking unique cohorts of patient-derived tumor organoids for subsequent functional testing. I aim at providing the groundwork for the identification of patient-specific drug sensitivities and thereby contribute to tailoring personalized oncological treatments.
