A three-year position is available for research on the biology of guidance receptors in neuronal development and cancer at the European Institute for Molecular Imaging at the University of Münster.
Project Info
Dr. Maria Florencia Sánchez’s group is associated with the European Institute of Molecular Imaging, an interfaculty organization. Their study aims to comprehend how receptors see their surroundings and react by producing particular kinds of reactions. They shall examine the plexins, a class of underappreciated receptors. These receptors impact renal, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular development in addition to neural development. Furthermore, plexins control immunological reactions, which makes cancer a particularly desirable target for medication. By integrating nanotechnology, cell biology, and sophisticated microscopy, we aim to comprehend how plexin clustering and membrane organisation impact signalling.
