Nicolas´lab is interested in the strategies that cells use to control gene expression levels and variability during differentiation.

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.

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.

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.
