FOR 1041: Germ cell potential
The Research Unit will explore and exploit the potential of germ cells. It combines stem cell research and reproductive medicine. Using modern cellular and molecular techniques (stem cell culture, 2D and 3D microscopy, methylation analysis, expression profiling and proteomics), it will investigate the development and the decline of the germ cell potential during in vivo and in vitro gametogenesis. A major focus will be the genetic and epigenetic determinants of the germ cell potential.
