Bergmann Group
We are interested in studying mechanisms and turnover dynamics of cell renewal with the focus on human organ systems. Many diseases are thought to affect the generation of new cells, and information about changes in cell turnover may provide novel insights into cause and treatment of these conditions.

Our research
We use a technique that is based on the incorporation of nuclear bomb test derived 14C into genomic DNA, which allows for the analysis of cell and tissue turnover in humans.
