Forschung im Überblick
Zellformänderungen spielen in der Entwicklung und Funktion multizellulärer Organismen eine zentrale Rolle. Störungen in den Signalnetzwerken welche diese Prozesse steuern können Fehlentwicklungen oder Krebs induzieren. In unserer Arbeitsgruppe untersuchen wir, wie diese Signalnetzwerke die Form und Funktion von Zellen steuern. Wir beschäftigen uns insbesondere mit selbstorganisierenden Systemen, welche durch Kopplung von Reaktionen und Diffusion Aktivitätsmuster in einzelnen Zellen generieren können [1-3]. Um diese Systeme zu untersuchen, implementieren wir einen interdisziplinären Ansatz [4,5], der akute, Mikroskopie-basierte experimentelle Störungen, die Entwicklung neuer Analysetechnologien und mathematische Modellierung kombiniert.
