The Elkouby lab is recruiting a Research Associate
Our lab investigates germ cells and gonad development in the zebrafish.
We use state-of-the-art live microscopy and genetics to study processes of cell polarity, biomechanics, cell-cell communication, mRNP phase-separation, stem cells, and morphogenesis. Our research will help explaining how germ cell developmental defects lead to infertility in the adult.
