Our Lab
Our research group at ACTREC is dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of the microenvironment surrounding stem cells during both developmental processes and disease states. We are particularly interested in how cellular signaling maintains homeostasis, ensuring optimal conditions for tissue and organ function. Our focus lies in deciphering the interactions between stem cells and their niches, elucidating their role in preserving tissue integrity.
Understanding the complex networks of cellular signaling within specific tissues and organs is central to our research. We investigate how these localized networks coordinate with systemic signaling pathways to uphold physiological balance. While our primary model organism is Drosophila (fruit flies), we leverage various biological systems to address our research questions comprehensively.
Our long-term objective is to translate our fundamental research findings into clinical applications, bridging the gap between basic science and clinical practice.
