Verena Ruprecht

Research and Interests

Ruprecht's lab has a cross-disciplinary research focus combining Biology, Biophysics and Bioengineering to study cell and tissue dynamics in early embryonic development. The group uses Zebrafish embryos as an in-vivo model system for the study of early morphogenesis and also develops 3D in-vitro biomimetic assays to reconstitute single cell dynamics and collective self-organisation and tissue patterning. The lab builds and advances state-of-the art technology for bioimaging and 3D biomimimetic interfaces. The group also has expertise in Image Processing, Image Analysis and quantitative Modeling of dynamic cellular processes.
