Welcome to the Sánchez Lab!

Our young research group works on the development of integrative approaches to understand Cell Signaling with a strong focus on cell guidance receptors!

We combine modern techniques ranging from nanolithography, 3D printing, cell and molecular biology, and optochemistry to live-cell advanced microscopy.

We are located at the European Institute for Molecular Imaging at the University of Münster.
