Our mission
We decode redox communication across cells and tissues to understand the mechanisms how biological systems operate, adapt, regenerate, or develop adverse responses
Nice to meet you!
A quick word about our research...
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.
Particle toxicology
Which properties drive toxicity responses? Using complementary alternative models, we investigate how physicochemical characteristics of particulate materials determine their fate and biological interactions, and how these properties drive (intra)cellular responses and health outcomes.
Mechanistic developmental toxicology
We study the fundamental mechanisms of human development using stem cell–based models, focusing on how organelle function, dynamics, intracellular communication, and cell–cell interactions shape cellular fate and developmental health.
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.
