Mechanistic developmental toxicology
How do stem cells cope with cellular stress? We investigate the fate of stem cells by studying organelle function, dynamics, and communication, as well as cell-to-cell communication in response to external stressors.

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.
Check out our video about this assay on the home page!
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
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.
More information about our particle toxicology research will follow soon.
