About us

Molecular mechanisms of axon guidance

We are a newly established group at Biocev. Our research focuses on signalling molecules and cell surface receptors that play central roles in neurobiology and have relevance to translational medicine. Currently, we have a particular interest in studying signalling molecules and mechanisms underlying cell guidance and nervous system wiring. Our efforts are focused on the structural biology and molecular mechanisms of MICAL signalling in cytoskeletal dynamics
