Welcome to the Functional Cell Morphology Lab

We are interested in the molecular mechanisms that build and shape a functional nervous system. While enormous progress has been made in recent years, it is still not completely understood how outgrowing axons identify their targets or how migrating cells navigate in their environment. We are trying to answer these questions by combining genetics and super-resolution microscopy with the functional analysis of key-regulatory proteins in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. 

  • Axon guidance
  • Cell migration
  • In vivo imaging

Our work is integrated in the following networks:

iBrain - Interdisciplinary Graduate School for Brain Research and Translational Neuroscience

CAi - Center for Advanced Imaging

iGrad - Interdisciplinary Graduate School and Research Academy Düsseldorf
