Project Details

Description

This team focuses on the development of new tools for optical control of the genome. These tools will be controllable with near infrared light. Additionally, transgenic mice expressing the optogenetic tools will be developed to study neuronal diseases and the dynamic behavior of blood cells in vivo.
