​I focus primarily on ovarian cancer cell migration and invasion in 3D-matrix, and on the functions of vesicle trafficking pathways, in particular the endocytic system (Rab11 family GTPases), in controlling cell matrix interactions in cancer.

My key state of the art methods/technologies

• precise next generation CRISPR based modifications (knock ins)
• microinjection/cell manipulation using magnets
• Microchip spheroind invasion assay
• ...
