Control of cell proliferation and arrest in response to the nutritional state of multicellular organisms...
Structural organisation of centrosomal and acentrosomal spindles....
How does an animal respond to wounds from pathogens or mechanical damage...
Molecular physiology of lifespan extension in C.elegans....
Our research focuses on the coordinated regulation of cell division and differentiation in the context of animal development....
Gaining deeper understanding of mito-nuclear communication and how this influences cell-autonomous and non-autonomous changes...
We use C. elegans as the reference nematode to perform comparative studies in cell biology, developmental biology and genetics. We currently have projects on soma-to-germline transmission of information, evolution of aging, and evolution of sex determination...
We investigate the regulation of chromatin function and gene expression in C. elegans....
