Growth is fundamental to development, regeneration and caner, yet remarkably little is known about the mechanisms that control organ size. How do cells know when to stop dividing after an organ has reached its proper size, and how do injured organs regenerate damaged or missing parts? The combination of the powerful genetic tools with novel and complex mammalian experimental cellular systems provides a superb platform in which to discover and study the signaling mechanisms governing organ growth control, regeneration and cancer cell evolution. Georg Halder integrates Cancer research and Oncology in his studies. He combines Oncology and Cancer research in his research. His Cell biology study often links to related topics such as Signal transduction. Signal transduction is often connected to Cell biology in his work. He merges Carcinogenesis with Hippo signaling pathway in his research. His study deals with a combination of Hippo signaling pathway and Carcinogenesis.
