Rate My Professor Mikkel Terp

Mikkel Green Terp is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of Southern Denmark, where he heads the Cancer and Inflammation Research group within the Cancer Unit. His research investigates the interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment that regulate tumor progression and therapy responses. Terp focuses on the role of the tumor microenvironment in therapy resistance, particularly the contributions of inflammatory cells including neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. He utilizes mouse models to study resistance to targeted cancer treatments, with emphasis on lung and breast cancers. His methodologies encompass in vivo and in vitro cancer models, flow cytometry, sequencing, and proteomics. Terp collaborates closely with researchers such as Professor Henrik Ditzel, Professor Morten Gjerstorff, Associate Professor Rasmus Siersbaek, Clinical Associate Professor Tina Green, Associate Professor Jonathan Brewer, and Professor Grith Lykke Sørensen at SDU. His research has been supported by grants from organizations including Kræftens Bekæmpelse, Fonden til lægevidenskabens Fremme, Neye Fonden, Carlsberg Fondet, Dagmar Marshalls Fonde, and Agnes og Poul Friis Fond.
