Research

The development of a layered cortex requires tightly regulated cell migration events. These are controlled by context-dependent interactions of cell guidance receptors and ligands, which occur between migrating cells and their environment. We will discover when/where different protein complexes form during neural migration, determine their atomic structures to obtain mechanistic insight, and analyse their functions in vitro/vivo. The project creates an outstanding interdisciplinary and international training environment for early career researchers to develop independent academic careers
