Listen to the HPC Podcasts of the Principal Investigators
Boyan Bonev
3D Genome & Molecular Neurobiology
Boyan's team deciphers the genetic and epigenetic blueprints of brain development and evolution, thereby unravelling new paradigms at the interplay of transcription factors, chromatin topology and the control of gene expression in vivo.
Matthias Meier
Bioengineering and Microfluidics
Matthias' team advances the microfluidic organ-on-chip technology to characterize biomolecules and their functional interactions on the single cell level and in the context of whole organs.
Celia P. Martinez-Jimenez
Molecular Ageing
Celia's team applies single-cell approaches to interrogate molecular features as predictor of molecular age. The assessment of intra-organ cell-to-cell variability will instruct precision diagnostics and personalized treatments.
Oliver Bruns
Next-Generation in vivo Imaging
Oliver's team combines targeted probe development and novel imaging setups to rapidly translate the technological advantages of SWIR into new imaging capabilities for both preclinical- and therapeutic applications.
Jian Cui
Nanomaterials and Nanophotonics
Jian’s team synthesizes novel classes of nanomaterials with unique chemical and optical properties. We aim to apply these materials towards the development of unconventional approaches to biological imaging and sensing.
