【Research Focus】
The Lab for Cell Dynamics (LCD) investigates how cells make decisions—how they differentiate, survive, die, and interact during cancer development and embryogenesis. We combine cutting-edge, quantitative tools: single-cell time-lapse imaging, two-photon microscopy, mathematical modeling & simulation and big-data analysis.
Our model systems include cancer cells, stem cells, organoids, and model organisms (e.g., flies, zebrafish, mice). If you are interested in answering unknown and significant questions in biology, you will fit right in!

Two key projects:
1. How does cell death shape the embryos during development?
2. How normal and cancer cells respond to stress differently?
