CRC 1324: Mechanisms and functions of Wnt signaling

Welcome to the website of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1324 from Heidelberg University.

Who we are

The Collaborative Research Center 1324 is a DFG-funded interdisciplinary research consortium of about 60 scientists in 14 projects and three technology platforms. Our research focuses on the mechanisms and functions of Wnt signaling.

Within the framework of the interview series “Überlebensstragien” hosted by Heidelberg University and Rhein-Neckar-Fernsehen, 
our CRC 1324 was represented by Michael Boutros and Josephine Bageritz:
