Understanding the role of CyclinB1-NuMA interaction in spindle orientation and epithelial morphogenesis
In multicellular organisms, oriented cell divisions sustain tissue morphogenesis, tissue architecture and homeostasis by ensuring the correct positioning of daughter cell after mit...
medITerranean HydroclimAte variability over the Common erA
The Mediterranean region is known for its high seasonal contrast in temperature and rainfall, subject to extreme hydroclimatic events (e.g., droughts and pluvials).In most Mediterr...
Role of selective autophagy processes in regulating the glucose tolerance of carnivorous fish: seeking greater replacement of fishmeal by vegetal ingredients in aquafeeds
The overarching goal of MEAL fish is to further understand the role of chaperone-Mediated autophagy (CMA) and Endosomal microautophagy (eMI) in AquacuLture fish, and to determine t...
Bone healing mechanomics in a mouse model of accelerated aging.
Delayed bone healing or failed non-unions account for 5 – 10% of all bone fractures and present a challenging problem in regenerative medicine. Bone healing is a mechano-sensitive...
A new approach in curve counting theories and mirror symmetry
A Marie Sklodowska-Curie IF at ETH-Zurich will lead to major developments of the PI's current research.The PI's research focuses on better understanding the mathematical...
Delineating the kinetic RNA interactome of nuclear exosome adaptor complexes
The human genome is ubiquitously transcribed into far more RNA than is immediately needed. Consequently, RNA turnover becomes critical for keeping our cells healthy.The nuclear RNA...
Neural, computational and acoustic principles of auditory sensory processing sensitivity
Hearing is an essential part of human life. We communicate through the voice, use sounds to navigate in the world and enjoy listening to music.On the other hand noise pollution in...
A bat's-ear view of natural soundscapes during flight
The knowledge of sensory systems is of central importance for our understanding of life. The brain commands the behaviour, but it banks on sensory input to do so. Biosonar is a par...
Safe Real-Time Systems: Certification Everywhere
We trust computers with our lives: they steer our aircrafts, control cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps, ventilators, and other medical devices, and will soon drive our cars.All the...
Failing Politically: Masao Maruyama and Comparative Political Theory
This project is the first major study of the renowned Japanese political theorist Masao Maruyama (1914–1996) from a distinctly comparative perspective.An interdisciplinary project...
Cultural Loss Under Emulated Shocks – Demographic Environmental Climatic Empirical Bottlenecks
Cultural loss is a common phenomenon throughout human history, often in relation to major external shocks. Yet, there are few studies that analyse which process might govern it.CLU...
Mass spectrometry for the characterization of micro- and nanoplastics
The goal of MS4PLASTIC project is to open up new frontiers in the sample pre-treatment and pre-concentration protocols, as well as characterization of low m-range microplastics and...
Conflictual Democracy: Urban politics, gender and local governance in post-revolution Tunisia
The 2011 Arab uprisings were extraordinary events.The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has long been understood as the bastion of authoritarianism, stifled markets and Is...

The research project investigates the concept of “thought exhibition” (TE), a curatorial approach developed by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel during four exhibitions at ZKM | Centre...
Defining the role of FBXW7 in intestinal epithelium regeneration
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a severe disorder affecting millions of people in Europe, characterised by chronic flares of intestinal inflammation and causing tissue loss or...
Probing our Galaxy from the Center to the outskirts
Supermassive black holes — located in galactic nuclei— and dark matter —dominant in galactic halos— are vital ingredients in the cosmological process of galaxy formation, including...
