“Our research group develops 3D organotypic tissue models to study fundamental cell biological processes underlying health and disease. To do so, we are taking a highly interdisciplinary approach by combining novel biomaterials chemistry, microfluidic platform engineering and cell biological tools.”

“Cellbiology - A stable genome is a fundamental requirement of life. Our team aims to understand how genome maintenance is controlled and how this control is subverted in ageing and cancer. We focus on decision-making during DNA replication and after DNA damage. Therefore, we combine studies in yeast and human cancer cells, where we apply modern Omics methods (Next-generation sequencing and proteomics) as well as classic cell biology and genetics approaches. ”
