163rd iCeMS Seminar: Prof Dr Martin Bastmeyer

Surface functionalization with biomolecules in a precise, patterned, and quantitative manner opens novel and fascinating strategies to study cellular responses to external stimuli. I will discuss three aspects of recent work from my laboratory:

  1. Axon guidance in Eph-receptor/Ephrin patterns.
  2. Directional cell migration in fibronectin gradients.
  3. 3D cellular microenvironments with defined geometries, precise bio-functionalization, and adjustable flexibility.
