Join our research group as a PhD student and contribute to these cutting-edge lines of research in a dynamic and collaborative environment.

The CellPro Lab investigates how cells grow, divide, and maintain homeostasis.

We focus on two unconventional regulators of the cell cycle — atypical cyclins and inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) — to uncover how they connect metabolism, DNA repair, and cell proliferation. By bridging fundamental cell biology with cancer research, we aim to identify new molecular pathways that sustain life and drive disease.
