Current research:
The research lab is integrated within the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit (MMPU) of the University Clinic of Heidelberg and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)" under the title
The role of iron in health and disease
Introduction to the interests of the lab
- Identification of molecular mechanisms underlying hereditary hemochromatosis
- Dissecting signalling pathways underlying hepcidin regulation
