Research Group "Vertebrate Organ Development and Function"
The research group "Vertebrate Organ Development and Function" is headed by Prof. Alfred Nordheim and focusses on the molecular genetics of vertebrate (murine, human) organ development, organ function and pathologic organ dysfunction.
A recent focus of the groups research activities is directed toward cancer biology. Specifically a murine model for progression of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcioma, HCC) has been developed and is currently being analyzed by multi-omic technologies.
