Jürgen Knoblich's lab uses Drosophila and mouse genetics to identify the molecular mechanisms that control asymmetric cell division in stem cell lineages. During the past years, the lab has identified many of the key players that regulate this process in Drosophila neural stem cell lineages. They found that defects in asymmetric cell division can initiate the formation of stem cell derived tumors. More recently, Jürgen Knoblich's laboratory has started to use genome wide loss of function analysis to understand the control of proliferation in stem cell lineages on a systems level.
