The Integrative Vascular Biology Laboratory aims to unravel the fundamental principles and molecular/genetic regulation of functional vascular network formation in development and disease.

The Hedtrich Lab strives to understand and tackle inflammatory and genetic diseases of human epithelia with a current focus on skin, lungs, and intestine. As we firmly believe that human-based models are critical to close the current translational gap in biomedical research, my lab’s research relies on complex human-based organ- and organ-on-chip…
The Potente laboratory focuses on the vasculature—the largest organ in the human body. We study how vascular networks develop and remodel and how their function becomes abnormal in disease states.
Our research focuses on genetics, gene therapy, immunology and cancer.
We investigate clinical pathophysiological metabolic changes of muscle and fat tissue in chronic diseases. In clinical work, cardiovascular knowledge is combined with acute therapy and stroke rehabilitation. Our research is focused on metabolic pathophysiology, which leads to weight loss and loss of muscle mass, cachexia and sarcopenia in chronic…
Public perception of science is still dominated by the image of men, and male scientists are interviewed and quoted more frequently in the media than their female colleagues. Therefore, the BIH wants to represent women scientists with its portrait series and illustrate their inspiring contribution to translational research, from basic research to…
