Charlotte Aumeier

Research in Marine Biology, Cell Biology and Molecular Biology

Marcos Gonzalez-Gaitan

Biophysics and cell biology of signaling

Marko Kaksonen

Sensors and assays to study cell mechanics and endosomal motility

Karsten Kruse

We study the formation of spatial and temporal structures in individual biological cells and cells assemblies. The focus of our work is on theoretical descriptions of cytoskeletal dynamics. The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous proteins, which is kept permanently out of thermodynamic equilibrium. It enables cells to divide, determines their shape and plays an important role in cell locomotion. In our descriptions, we rely heavily on concepts from non-linear dynamics and from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Howard Riezman

The main goal of our research is to understand the functions of membrane lipids in cell biology and physiology. To this end, we need to develop a comprehensive understanding about lipid distribution and homeostasis in cells and how these are regulated.

Aurélien Roux

Cells and organelles are separated by 2D fluid lipid membranes, which have peculiar mechanical properties.

Thierry Soldati

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of phagocytosis and cell-autonomous defences against mycobacteria infection.

Access Geneva

ACCESS Geneva is a facility specialized in image-based high-content screening (HCS) and high-throughput screening (HTS). We provide infrastructure and know-how to deliver projects from Swiss academia or industry and offer a fully automated station with state-of-the-art equipment, technology and methodology. Established in 2015, the facility is based at the Biochemistry department of the University of Geneva.

Ioannis Xenarios

My interest is in providing computational and biocuration efforts to the medical and life science community. One of the aim is to break the "technological" mindblock that scientists have when dealing with omics technologies (going beyond the long list...of things)
