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…
The ability of pathogens to multiply in the host is crucial for the spread of infections. The speed of bacterial division greatly depends on the environmental conditions. Under unfavorable conditions, such as nutrient…
Interview with Palmer Bassett She has a passion for the tiny worm C. elegans – not only because it offers so many possibilities for discovery but also because it brings together so many interesting people. This and the fact…
