Major Scientific Interests<br />
Our major fields of research are molecular mechanisms of growth regulation and metabolism<br />
as well as biology and biotechnology of reproduction. Transgenic mouse models are used for<br />
the functional analysis of ligands of the EGF-receptor family. In addition, ENU induced mouse<br />
mutants with alterations in clinical-chemical and hematological parameters are characterized<br />
phenotypically and genetically to identify the causal mutations and to establish novel disease<br />
models. In the field of reproductive biology we are particularly interested in the<br />
developmental biology of preimplantation embryos and in mechanisms of embryo-maternal<br />
communication. In addition, somatic cell nuclear transfer is used to study mechanisms of<br />
cellular reprogramming and for the generation of genetically modified large animal models for<br />
biomedical research.<br />
