Research
Our research group tries to understand how stress leads to cell death and which mechanisms the cells have to protect themselves and surrounding cells. We use zebrafish as an in vivo model to study signals that lead to cell death and protection. Zebrafish have become a very popular model for human diseases. The zebrafish's development and organs are similar to ours, and disease-related human genes are also found as functional genes in zebrafish.
