The collaborative research center "Regulation of cell death decisions" (TRR353) has held its kick off meeting in Höchsten this November.
In this consortium, we want to advance our knowledge on how the sensitivity of an individual cell to a cell death-inducing stimulus is regulated, how to qualitatively or quantitatively predict this response from measurable parameters, and how to steer a cell in its death-survival decision and the chosen cell death modality. The work of this consortium will contribute to establishing fundamental principles of cell death decisions in basic biology and human pathology.
The consortium is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under project number 471011418 and supports two PhD candidates in the group of Prof. Morrison.
