From one who left… May 2014 She dared to take the big step into the unknown. The Biozentrum Alumna, Nadine Cybulski, left for Canada almost three years ago. No job, no plans, just like that! In an interview the Biochemist…
Capillary attraction underlies bacterial collective dynamics “Water is the driving force of all nature.” — Leonardo da Vinci Collective motion of active matter occurs in many living systems, such as bacterial communities,…

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…
Enigmatic Translons – Animalcules of Molecular Biology? Ribosome profiling has revealed the extensive utilization of multiple start codons in eukaryotic mRNAs, including in humans. Translation initiation at these start…
The Skin I Live in The forces that shape embryos, and how embryonic cells respond Embryos undergo dramatic morphogenetic movements during development. For example, C. elegans embryos begin as a compact ball of cells and…
Growth control from cells to organisms Imbalance between the growth rate of different organs can amplify to large deviations of their size proportions during development. I will present evidence that, for the pharynx of C.…
Hearing loss eventually affects almost everyone: Loud noises or simple aging gradually cause the auditory sensory cells and their synapses in the inner ear to degenerate and die off. The only treatment option is a hearing…
Stochastic promoter choice during differentiation of neurons Mammals, including humans, have relatively few genes (20-50’000) but millions of neurons with distinct cellular identities. The combinatorial expression of protein…
