Cell and Molecular Biology focuses on examining the organization and activities of living systems at the cellular scale, along with the key biomolecules that characterize them (such as DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates). The CMB Group's researchers work across diverse fields like Cancer Biology, Neurobiology, and Developmental Biology. Key research topics involve:
How the cytoskeleton controls cell and tissue formation during brain growth and disorders.
Cellular communication pathways in tumor formation and metastasis.
Molecular processes driving cell specialization in plant reproductive systems.
Genetic foundations of developmental brain conditions.
Gene expression patterns that guide nervous system connectivity during growth and repair.
Biological processes controlling neural crest and cranial placode formation in healthy and diseased states.
Molecular pathways contributing to nerve cell deterioration in Parkinson's disease.
