Actin and Cell Migration Lab

Research interests

• Investigation of actin-based cell migration and cancer cell invasion via protein-focused approaches
• Expertise in biochemistry, molecular biology and imaging-based in vitro (preclinical) analysis
• Development of software tools for image processing and for standardized quantitative analysis of cell migration
• Fundamental research on actin regulation in disease (e.g. HIV, testin family)
• Improvement of drug treatments (e.g. hepatocellular carcinoma, use of bacterial peptides)
