Prof Christian Ottensmeier
University of Southampton
Christian Ottensmeier is Professor in Experimental Cancer Medicine. He graduated and began his training in Münster, Germany. After a 3 year training fellowship in the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, he moved to Southampton where he completed his oncology training and undertook his PhD. He has been a consultant in medical oncology since 2000.
Christian’s core academic interest is the early translation of immunotherapeutic strategies into the clinic. His clinical interests are thoracic malignancies and melanoma, and he has co-developed a number of national NCRI studies in lung cancer. He manages a broad and active portfolio of clinical trials in both lung cancer and melanoma.
The overarching aim of his laboratory group is the preclinical development and early phase clinical testing of strategies to induce anti-tumour immune responses in patients. His work focuses on three linked but distinct areas of investigation: Detailed immunological evaluation of the effect of immunological intervention in patients, assay development and validation, and mechanistic studies in murine models as well as human modelling of immune responses to vaccination for further cancer vaccine development.
He has served on a number of industry advisory boards and DSMBs for industry-led studies and is also a member of the Clinical Development partnership between Cancer Research UK and Astra Zeneca. He is a member of a number of national peer-reviewed funding committees.
