BIOSS open air lecture with Tony Hunter

On the 29.09.2014 at the weekly BIOSS seminar, BIOSS scientists had the opportunity to talk about signals with a prominent guest speaker: Prof. Tony Hunter from the Salk Institute of Biological Studies and the University of California, San Diego, USA is a pioneer in signaling research and presented his work in an open-air lecture at the Signalhaus Freiburg.

Tony Hunter studies how cell growth and division are regulated, and how mutations in genes that control growth lead to cancer. His group has made significant contributions in the area of signal transduction, elucidating how signals that stimulate or inhibit proliferation are transmitted within a cell.
