In Cooperation with the Graduate School Prof. Weidinger (Institute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) would like to invite you to the following talk on Monday, September 22, 11:00 am in O29, Room 3003/3004:
Christian Bökel, head of the "Stem cell niches in Drosophila" research group at the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden, will talk about
"Seeing is believing – Dissecting signal transduction through microscopy".
Christian's lab uses innovative live reporters of signaling pathway activation to study stem cell - niche interactions at subcellular resolution. Selected publications include:
