Research Focus
Dr. Tobias Meyer’s lab at Weill Cornell Medical College studies how mammalian cells make decisions to move and grow, which are important for both healing and cancer development. By using advanced techniques like single-cell analysis and microscopy, the lab aims to uncover the molecular signals and interactions that guide these processes. Their findings could lead to new approaches in treating cancer and improving tissue regeneration.
