Project description
Cell-matrix adhesion is a fundamental process by which cells interact with their immediate environment, sense and respond to it, control their morphology and migrate. These functions are mediated by dynamic adhesion sites located along the plasma membrane of the cell and composed of numerous different proteins interacting with each other. We will develop and apply advanced fluorescence-microscopy imaging, statistical, computational and systems biology approaches in order to study how adhesion sites get organized and respond to different extracellular and intracellular cues. For this project we are looking for post-doctoral fellows and PhD students enthusiastic about systems biology and interdisciplinary work, with a background in biology or physics.
