Our current research is focussed on the following aspects of cell biology:

● how do epithelial and endothelial cells establish cell-cell contacts and in particular tight junctions?
● how do epithelial and endothelial cells develop apico-basal polarity?
● what is the role of cell adhesion molecules in these processes?

In our projects, we apply primarily methods of protein biochemistry, molecular biology and fluorescence microscopy
(including confocal and 4Pi microscopy).

Open position for a Master Thesis in “Molecular Cell Biology”

We have an open position for a Master Thesis for students of the Master programs MSc Biosciences, MSc Biotechnology or MSc Molecular Biomedicine. The project aims at the characterization of a recently discovered JAM-related protein and includes the analysis of its expression pattern (westernblotting, qPCR), the analysis of its subcellular localization (IF, confocal microscopy), as well as various functional experiments after its knockdown by RNA interference. For additional information, feel free to call or contact us by e-mail.
If you are interested, please send us your application either by regular mail or electronically.
