Integrins are the main receptors for cell-matrix adhesion and are continuously Trafficked within the cell.. An exact understanding of the cellular networks regulating integrin trafficking is missing, but is crucial for clarifying how cells respond to adhesive clues in their environment and Thus for understanding many vital processes, including cell migration or virus uptake. We will combine here methods from cell and molecular biology, systems biology, theoretical biophysics and bioinformatics to reconstruct the cellular networks regulating integrin trafficking. We offer a highly stimulating and international research environment at CellNetworks.
