Prof. Michael N. Hall Research Group, University of Basel ^{Research Labs}

Professor Michael Hall is the head of Research Group which studies TOR signaling and the control of cell growth. The aim of the group`s research is understanding the molecular mechanisms that control growth and metabolism in health and disease may reveal new therapeutic strategies for a wide variety of disorders. They study TOR signaling and growth control in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in mammalian cells, in mice and in human tumors using biochemical, genetic and cell biological approaches. The work with human tumors is a translational research project that relies on close collaborations with clinicians. Cell division, growth and death are the most fundamental features of life.
