Biological Crystallization Mechanisms

  • Study the development and cell biology of crystal-forming cells in model organisms (zebrafish, medaka) and exotic species (Copepods, Chameleon, Geckos).
  • Study pathological crystallization (i.e. gout disease and kidney stones) and develop new therapeutic approaches.
  • Discover and characterize new bio-crystals.
  • Investigate novel crystal-based biological optical systems.
