Research Projects The central theme of our research is to understand how stochastic interactions of cells and molecules control the functional behaviour of multicellular systems. We specifically focus on how cells interact…
Research projects We investigate the physiology of bacterial pathogens ( Salmonella , Pseudomonas , Staphylococcus ) in infected rodent and human tissues, focusing on single-cell behavior and potential applications for novel…
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of biomolecules We apply and develop high-resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methods to elucidate structure, function, and dynamics of biological macromolecules. The…
Laura de Smalen, PhD Student, Group Handschin Why did you decide to do a PhD? During my bachelor's in Nutrition and Dietetics, I developed a strong interest in the causes and mechanisms that underlie the human diseases that…
Cell signaling and dynamics in bacterial growth, adaptation, and persistence Our studies aim at understanding the molecular and cellular principles involved in the growth, differentiation and behavior of bacterial cells. We…
