Translational Cell Signaling and Metabolism

Main content

Flluorescerende celler

The group focuses on basic principles of cell biology that are important for human diseases. We study cell signalling, protein modifications, and organelle function, and investigate how these affect the cell's metabolism and survival. We also study how these processes affect human diseases and how our knowledge can be used in the clinic.

The group is run by several principal investigators. Please visit our lab pages to learn more about our research.
