of epithelial morphogenesis during Tribolium embryogenesis
Cellular mechanisms and molecular regulation
of epithelial morphogenesis in development and cancer.

In particular we are interested to unravel the mechanisms that ensure the maintenance
of the apical membrane when exposed to physical stress, e. g. during
morphogenesis of epithelial tissues, or when exposed to light stress in photoreceptor cells, using Drosophila and zebrafish as model organisms.

Leveraging the phylogenetic position
of Cnidaria and the accessibility
of Nematostella tentacle tubes to optical observation and experimental manipulation (see Video 2), we will define the biochemical and mechanical cues that drive the
morphogenesis of epithelial tubes in a broad evolutionary context.
