Monica Schliemann
Dipl.Biol. Technische Biologie Universität Stuttgart
My research interests include the study of cell signaling pathways with the focus of understanding these more from a systems perspective. I follow a Systems Biology approach with a cyclical mode of operation between experiments, modeling and model analysis.
My main research work is the study of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-induced apoptosis. The proinflammatory cytokine TNF binds its cognate membrane receptor, TNF receptor type 1, which then simultaneously induces survival pathways via activation of the nuclear factor κB, and apoptotic signaling by caspase activation. The crosstalk mechanisms of pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling as a function of dosage and time decide on the final outcome of the cellular response.
Experimentally and via mathematical modeling, I study the detailed dynamical signaling crosstalk between TNF induced pro- and anti-apoptotic pathways in single cells as well as in cell populations.
