Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor Predicts Survival and Hepatic Decompensation in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

01.08.25 | In collaboration with clinicians at Charité, employees at Labor Berlin were able to demonstrate in a multicenter retrospective study that elevated levels of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) predict survival and the risk of liver decompensation in patients with advanced liver cancer undergoing immunotherapy. suPAR concentrations were closely linked to liver function, but not to tumor-related characteristics. This biomarker enables a more precise risk assessment within existing liver function classes (Child-Pugh) and could support individual treatment decisions in the future.

Coordinated implementation of a conventional PCR assay to detect all Ebola and Marburg virus species in a European laboratory

03.07.25 | Together with scientists from Charité, employees from Labor Berlin have developed a PanFilo PCR test for the rapid detection of Ebola, Marburg and other filoviruses. In a second step, the test allows direct sequencing to identify both known and novel virus variants. In a Europe-wide validation study involving 15 laboratories, the method proved highly reliable and demonstrated its potential for use in the early phases of future outbreaks, even with previously unknown pathogens. At the same time, it became clear that greater standardization of diagnostics and sequencing between laboratories is necessary.

Chronic diseases such as cancer or immune-mediated inflammation are on the rise worldwide – and therapies often take effect too late. This is precisely where ImmunoPreCept comes in: The new Cluster of Excellence headed by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin is researching how the immune system maintains health – and what throws it out of balance. The aim is to identify causes before symptoms arise.
With Prof. Dr. Andreas Diefenbach, Director of our Department of Microbiology & Hygiene, as one of the spokespersons, ImmunoPreCept brings together cutting-edge research from immunology, systems biology and medicine – for the preventive medicine of tomorrow.
Start: January 2026, funded as part of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments.
