Timm Schroeder investigates the molecular control of mammalian stem cell fate decisions at the interface of molecular cell biology, stem cell research, medicine and informatics. He has pioneered bioimaging approaches for long-​term single cell observations, enabling answers to long standing questions in stem cell research. His work combines cell and molecular biology, genetics, imaging, engineering, software development, statistics and computational mathematical modelling. Ultimate goal is an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying stem cell behaviour in health and disease, and the development of novel therapies in regenerative medicine.
