Structural Color Biogenesis or
How do cells shape and organize their organelles?
In parallel, we study organelle biogenesis, focusing on the differentiation of particular pigment cells of the…
Start-Stop-Shape!
Growth across Scales: from organs down to organelles.
We study size and shape in two different contexts, using the developing zebrafish larva as a model system.
Organ Growth Control or
How do organs measure and control their size?
Over an animal’s life, organ growth is a dynamic spatiotemporal process that is Started (i.e. cells proliferate),…

Exploiting the Endosomal System for the Delivery of Macromolecules
Macromolecules such as nucleic acids or proteins possess a great potential as therapeutics in medical applications and research.…
From Hepatocyte Polarity to Liver Tissue Organization
The liver is the largest metabolic organ of the human body and vital for detoxification. Although the general organization of the liver in…
From Endosomes to Hepatocyte Cell Polarity
No cell is an island – and therefore we must understand molecular processes within the context of a tissue. In our group, we study the liver because its…
Biogenesis of Early Endosomes
Endocytosis is an essential process serving multiple key cellular functions, such as nutrient uptake, signal transduction, and defense against pathogens. In…
