Research Topics
We employ immune cells to unravel the basic mechanisms and principles of cell motility such as during cell migration, macropinocytosis and leukocyte trafficking. Our lab interdisciplinary combines advanced live-cell microscopy, genetic-engineering (e.g. CRISPR), custom-made micro-environments (e.g. microfluidics, 3D collagen matrices) and unbiased system-wide approaches. Thereby we aim to identify fundamental cell biological principles and their misregulation in disease. Read more...
