A stem cell biologist, his specialisms are cancer stem cells, metastasis and circulating tumour cells. His group identified metastasis-initiating cells among the circulating tumour cells of breast cancer patients, reported in Nature Biotechnology as a population able to seed metastases in a xenograft assay. He studies how dormant cancer cells seed metastases and resist therapy, alongside dormancy in haematopoietic and leukaemic stem cells. His publications are listed on PubMed.","asOf":"2026-09-08","links":[{"label":"PubMed","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Trumpp%20A%5BAuthor%5D%20metastasis%20stem%20cells"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["dkfz"],"pathways":["emt"],"terms":["ctdna"],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":["nature-biotechnology"],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"Head of Stem Cells and Cancer, DKFZ; Managing Director, HI-STEM","institutionId":"dkfz","specialisms":["Cancer stem cells","Metastasis","Circulating tumour cells"],"profiles":[{"label":"PubMed","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Trumpp%20A%5BAuthor%5D%20metastasis%20stem%20cells"}],"papers":[{"title":"Identification of a population of blood circulating tumor cells from breast cancer patients that initiates metastasis in a xenograft assay","journal":"Nature Biotechnology","year":2013,"doi":"10.1038/nbt.2576"}],"orcid":"0000-0002-6212-3466"},"route":"/people/andreas-trumpp/","neighbours":{"institution":[{"id":"dkfz","kind":"institution","name":"German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)","route":"/institutions/dkfz/"}],"pathway":[{"id":"emt","kind":"pathway","name":"Epithelial-mesenchymal transition & drug efflux","route":"/pathways/emt/"}],"term":[{"id":"ctdna","kind":"term","name":"Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA)","route":"/terms/ctdna/"}],"journal":[{"id":"nature-biotechnology","kind":"journal","name":"Nature Biotechnology","route":"/journals/nature-biotechnology/"}]}}
