Cell Signaling in Cancer and Metabolism

To discover new signaling processes, we make use of mammalian cells, organoids, and mouse models as well as cutting edge microscopy, fluorescent reporter, and perturbation technologies. Current projects focus on the signaling control of cell movement, proliferation, and secretion, and how such processes contribute to obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and cancer. We prepare students and postdocs for interdisciplinary academic and biotech careers.
