Björn von Eyss is visiting Amsterdam on the occasion of the PhD thesis defense of Tanne van der Wal.

Prior to setting up his own lab in 2016, he obtained his PhD (2010) at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin with Dr. Ulrike Ziebold (identifying novel interaction partners of E2F3) and did a postdoc with prof.dr. Martin Eilers in Würzburg (working, among others, on MYC).
His current research focuses on the interplay of mechanical cues and the HIPPO pathway, with a specific focus on the role of Hippo signaling in tumorigenesis and the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by YAP/TAZ.
