Host laboratories in Signaling and regulation

My research laboratory is involved in understanding how the mucosal immune system discriminates between pathogens and commensal bacteria, with application to the design of mucosal vaccines targeting pathogens and allergy.

Blaise Corthésy lab

Our laboratory develops fundamental, translational and clinical research focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of immune response to microorganisms in order to develop new diagnosis strategies, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

Thierry Roger lab

	Structure, function and evolution of chemosensory systems. Richard Benton lab
	Our research aims at understanding, through genomic approaches, how the interplay between various transcription factors and the corresponding regulatory networks, controls metabolic homeostasis in physiological and pathological conditions. The liver and white adipose tissue (WAT), which are important organs with respect to energy balance, are the main targets of our studies. Béatrice Desvergne lab
	Molecular mechanisms of light-regulated growth and development in plants. Christian Fankhauser lab
	Our group explores the molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of biological timekeeping by circadian clocks in mammals. David Gatfield lab
	Size and shape regulation during development in Drosophila. Fisun Hamaratoglu lab
	Regulation of gene transcription in the control of mammalian cell proliferation and differentiation. Winship Herr lab
	Transcriptional control of skin repair and cancer. Liliane Michalik lab © Catherine Moret

	What are the mechanisms that plants use to detect when they are wounded by herbivores? Ted Farmer lab
	We want to understand establishment, structure and function of the endodermis, a major protective barrier in the root of higher plants. Niko Geldner lab
	Study plant phosphate homeostasis and how plants respond and adapt to phosphate deficiency. Yves Poirier lab
	Molecular studies of plant-insect interactions. Philippe Reymond lab © Olivier Hilfiker
	The phloem vasculature enabled plants to colonize land and is formed in a peculiar differentiation process, the formation of conductive sieve elements by selective degradation of organelles. Our research investigates this process. Christian Hardtke lab
	We are interested in understanding the communication systems that plants have developed to read their cell wall status to coordinate growth and development. Julia Santiago Cuellar lab

	The Keel lab investigates molecular mechanisms used by root-colonizing beneficial bacteria to protect agricultural crop plants against pest insects and fungal pathogens. Christoph Keel lab
	The Martin lab studies how spatial intracellular organization controls cell growth and division, as well as cell-cell fusion during sexual reproduction. Sophie Martin lab
	We use synthetic biology approaches to develop novel biosensors to understand the regulation of signal transduction and transcription in single cells. Serge Pelet lab
	Our group applies synthetic biology tools to build gene regulatory networks. We then use them to study their mechanisms, properties and evolution. Yolanda Schearli lab
	The Veening lab uses systems and synthetic biology approaches to study chromosome segregation, mechanisms of antibiotic resistance development, and noise in gene expression in the important opportunistic human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. Jan-Willem Veening lab

Mechanisms of the C. albicans pathogenic fungus adaptation to its host(s) during the course of infection.

Alix Coste lab - Institute of Microbiology

Our facility is specialized in large scale analysis of proteomes and their variations.
