Sturzenbaum, Stephen
Some molecules are exclusively toxic to biological systems and others are essential for life; their interplay are vital drivers of well being, longevity and survival. Nevertheless, above certain threshold concentrations all compounds (including essential ones) become toxic....

Riedel, Christian
Lifespan is largely determined by the rate at which we age. In the Riedel laboratory we use the nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans as a model system to understand the pathways that can accelerate or impair this process. C. Elegans is ideal for ageing-related research, as it is technically well established, short-lived (allowing for lifespan as an easily measurable phenotype), and very responsive to alterations in its ageing-regulatory pathways....

Dalfó, Esther
My research is focused on the use of the nematode to study neurodegeneration. My two neurodegeneration topics are a) fatty acid accumulation defects and its role in neurodegeneration and b) contributing factors to the development of synucleinoapthies. ...

Wicky, Chantal
Transcription factors and chromatin modifiers are important in programming and reprogramming cell fate during development. We are investigating the function of the chromatin remodeler LET-418/Mi-2, which is part of at least two protein complexes, the NuRD and the MEC complexes involved in the development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans....

Schuster, Eugene
Recent ageing studies have revealed that ageing can be regulated and even more surprising is that many of the classic signaling pathways that have been exhaustively studied for many years are involved in the regulation of ageing....

Ciosk, Rafal
I have a general interest in elucidating the molecular mechanisms controlling cell fate maintenance and reprogramming. We focus on the germline-soma dichotomy, elucidating both cytoplasmic and nuclear determinants controlling the commitment to the germ cell fate and the reprograming to pluripotency....
