Current lab members

Andreas Steimel:

Characterization and identification of novel genes involved in axon outgrowth and guidance in C. elegans

  • Characterization of ast-2, a novel gene involved in the pioneer follower relationship between the PVP and the PVQ axon
  • Identification of new candidate genes that are expressed in the PVP pioneer neuron
  • Characterization of the ast-7 gene which is involved in establishment of the asymmetry of the ventral cord in C. elegans

  • Thomas Unsoeld:

    Identification of novel genes affecting axon outgrowth of the ventral cord pioneer neuron AVG.

  • Mapping and characterization of ast-4 and ast-6 two genes disturbing correct outgrowth of the AVG pioneer axon and its followers.
  • Screen for AVG-specific expressed genes by identification of an evolutionary conserved AVG cis-element and transcriptome analysis using DNA Microarrays.

  • Jie Pan:

    Genetic screens for mutants affecting axon navigation of pioneers and follower axons






    Ja-On Park:

    Characterization of novel genes controlling axon navigation in the ventral cord
