Control of cell proliferation and arrest in response to the nutritional state of multicellular organisms...
We want to understand if and how animals respond optimally to their environmental and nutritional conditions....
Molecular physiology of lifespan extension in C.elegans....
We study the molecular genetics of aging, using high-throughput imaging, low-throughput imaging, statistical, and modelling approaches....
Deciphering cellular signaling pathways that modulate organismal aging...
The goal of our research is to understand both, spatiotemporal control of protein quality control activity as well as substrate processing....
My research aims to understand the causative role of protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases...
Our research is focused on defining how stem cells maintain proteostasis and identify novel mechanisms to delay the age=associated decline of proteostasis...
Our lab aims to identify these regulatory mechanisms and to evaluate how physiological protein aggregation impacts the health of the organism during aging and in the context of disease....
Owing to improved medical care and treatment our society is rapidly aging. As a result, age-related diseases are also on the rise. These have a strong impact on the aging individual as well as on our society. Age-related maladies involve multiple and often distinct organ systems....
Our lab has a lot of experience in synthesizing metallic nanoparticles such as gold NP and Iron oxide NP for biomedical applications. We use C. elegans as a method to assess the biocompatibility of our biomaterials combining C. elegans methodology and physico chemical techniques....
