Thomas Cremer has made key contributions for the development of laser techniques for experimental use in cytogenetic and cell biology. Since 1983 his research focused on developing molecular and cytogenetic techniques for fluorescence-microscopic visualization of individual chromosomes and specific regions of metaphase chromosomes and in the interphase nucleus (fluorescence in situ hybridization). He also contributed to the development of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).Current work in the Cremer lab, at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, focuses on functional nuclear architecture in normal and malignant hematopoietic cell types studied by quantitative, correlative microscopy. Recent insights include the characterization of chromosomal territories, including their evolutionary conservation and dynamics during cell cycle.
