Cell and Developmental Biology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University München

Research in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology focuses on fundamental questions in the Life Sciences such as cell division, stem cells, organellar dynamics, cation homeostasis and the control of gene expression.

To address these questions, we employ bottom-up as well as top-down approaches and state of the art technologies. As models, we are currently using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cnidarians Hydra vulgaris, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as well as mammalian cells.

In a joint effort of the Zanin and Dube labs a caged proteasome inhibitor was developed. With this new chemical biological tool we can now control the cell cycle and apoptosis with blue light. Check out the just accepted paper paper in ‘Angewandte Chemie’! Congratulations to Fritzi, Ed and Sriyash for this great paper!
