The aim of this EcTop is to build a network of scientists of the Heidelberg Campus (Heidelberg University, DKFZ, EMBL) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, to conduct research on the control of development by metabolic pathways by fostering interaction among these scientists through joint projects, seminars and retreats. By focusing on the modulation of genetically encoded developmental programs via integration of metabolic signals, our EcTop will address an emerging scientific question with high relevance to basic as well as applied biology.
The EcTop builds upon the unique scientific and methodological know-how of CellNetworks and the Heidelberg life science community. The Ectop is the nucleation centre for the emergence of an SFB/CRC focused on the metabolic control of developmental programs.
