Division of Cell and Developmental Biology

The Division of Cell and Developmental Biology holds 12 scientific groups working in four research areas covering topics in the fields:

• Cell and Tissue Biology
• Developmental Biology
• Molecular Genetics and Orphan Diseases
• Epigenetics and RNA Biology

Using various model organisms ranging from flies, fish, chicken and mice to human stem cell culture and tissue models these research groups employ classic genetics, biochemistry and imaging methodology but also innovative experimental approaches such as genome editing and high-throughput methods such as next-generation sequencing.
