Departments

 

Anatomical X-ray of a human torso, showing a bright red heart and surrounding blood vessels, with a focus on the skeletal structure.

Thomas Braun

Cardiac Development and Remodelling (Dept. I)

The research in the department aims to identify the processes governing the development of contractile tissues.

Stefan Offermanns

Pharmacology (Dept. II)

The department investigates cellular signaling pathways and mechanisms of pathophysiological processes in the cardiovascular and metabolic system as well as in cancer.

Didier Stainier

Developmental Genetics (Dept. III)

The Stainier lab investigates questions related to organogenesis including cell differentiation, tissue morphogenesis, organ homeostasis and function, as well as organ regeneration.

 

Research Groups

 

A collection of coloured dots arranged in various patterns on a deep blue background. Spatial transcriptomics of the sympathetic ganglia of a mouse. The blue areas mark the cell nuclei, allowing the positions of the cells and the activity of the genes to be traced spatially.

Karin Ziegler

Neurocardiac Axis – Sympathetic Neuroimmunology in Heart Failure

The research group is investigating the role of the sympathetic nervous system in cardiovascular diseases.

Reymond Sutandy

Cellular Resilience

The research group led by Dr Reymond Sutandy is investigating how cells remain resilient under stress and how mitochondria act as signalling organelles in this process.

Lei Gu

Epigenetics

The Gu Laboratory combines bioinformatics, epigenomics, cancer biology, fly genetics, and mass spectroscopy to identify and investigate the role of novel epigenetic modifications.

Illustration of circadian processes in the heart, central and peripheral clocks, and their role in the development of heart disease. Arrows show the causal relationship and prevention.

Pieterjan Dierickx

Circadian rhythms in heart metabolism

The Lab is interested in how the circadian clock controls rhythmic processes in the heart.
