Characterization of the functions and mechanisms of long noncoding RNAs and of nuclear RNA export

Decipher expression of molecular pathways and their function in cells, disease models and samples from patients.

Studying how human organs acquire their shape by developing 3D stem-cell systems and applying concepts from soft-matter physics

Spatial transcriptomics of mammalian tissues

We study the molecular foundations and applied potential of mammalian pluripotent stem cells in early organ development, germ cell formation and whole synthetic embryo generation ex utero
