• Cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, and polarity
• Elucidating the principles of complex three-dimensional structure formation Research questions include:
• What are the signaling principles that allow the formation of elaborate 3D structures such as the vertebrate limbs?
• Which transmembrane receptors are mainly used for cell attachment to the extracellular matrix?
• What defines a stem cell, and what is a stem cell niche?
• Which mechanisms are active in stem cells as opposed to other somatic cells?
