Stem cell
toxicology
How do stem cells cope with cellular stress? We investigate the nature of the stem cell repair response in a system with high regeneration capacity.

Applied
toxicology
Are stem cells and animals with regenerative capacities of added value to toxicity testing? We developed an assay for evaluating carcinogens based on the planarian stem cell response.

Regeneration
research
Which signals drive tissue regeneration? We use a multilevel approach to investigate the function of redox molecules in stem cell fate and regeneration.

Environmental
toxicology
Nanoparticles, microplastics and heavy metals are everywhere, but are they safe? We investigate their impact on human health and aquatic organisms in a multidisciplinary setting.
