Data-inspired, curiosity-driven, knowledge-based.

An animation of adipose immune dynamics in mice on high-fat diet.

What we're passionate about:

Organismic, cellular and molecular biology.

Computational modelling.

Basic and (pre-) clinical research.

Open science and scientific outreach.

LAM Cell Biology

We investigate the biology of LAM Cells, the lipid-munching minions of our innate immune system. They're always on the prowl to chow down on lipids, and we utilise them to avenge adipose inflammation.

ADIPO-DECIDE

We model flab fate decisions to decipher what dictates life and death of adipocytes. We aim to foretell their future and keep a lid on lipids!

Beyond Adipose...

We fathom out the impact of adipose tissue beyond the actual fat depots by uncovering hidden heroics in blubber for gut, liver, heart et al.

Fat as foundation for cross-talk with other organs. Obviously, the big picture has to be better resolved.
