Cell signalling and vesicular trafficking
 

Understanding how cells move together

PROJECTS

Collective cell migration plays a fundamental role during the development of pluricellular organisms and in wound healing, it is also involved in the dissemination of cancer cells during metastasis formation. Our overarching goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms regulating collective cell movements.

COORDINATING BORDER CELL MIGRATION

How do border cells coordinate their movements to perform an invasive migration in Drosophila egg chambers ?

SPATIOTEMPORAL CONTROL OF MIGRATION DETERMINANTS BY VESICULAR TRAFFICKING

What are the molecular regulators of vesicular trafficking that localize key determinants of cell migration during collective cell movements ?

REGULATION OF THE COLLECTIVE MIGRATION OF METASTATIC CELLS

Are the same mechanisms involved in border cell migration regulating the migration of cancer cells during metastasis formation ?
