BIBLIOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW

For updated overview of publications and citations, see: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=7dajJHMAAAAJ

Vi studerer de molekylære mekanismer der ligger til grund for dannelsen, vedligeholdelsen og funktionen af primære cilier. Derudover studerer vi de molekylære mekanismer, der ligger til grund for cilie-relatered sygdomme (ciliopatier). Vi benytter os primært af forskellige pattedyrsceller som modelsystemer.
