Project description

Correctly sized body parts are crucial for organismal function. For example, overgrowth of cardiac muscle is a prevalent cause of heart failure. The growth of different cells and organs must therefore be tightly coordinated during development.

How growth signals are propagated from cell to cell, and how organs integrate combinatorial signals from different tissues is a fundamental, yet poorly understood question of high biomedical relevance.

Building on our recent work (Stojanovski et al., 2022 & 2023, Nature Communications), the project will address how the molecular regulation in individual cells controls the complex orchestration of growth at an organismal scale.

The project will use cutting-edge technology in quantitative live imaging, proteomics, functional genomics, and/or computational approaches. C.

elegans is ideal for such an integrated organismal approach, due to its genetic tractability, small size (1mm), short generation time (3d) and short lifespan (3wks).
