Sabine Eming

Professor Sabine Eming is a Principal Investigator at the Department of Dermatology & FMNS at the University of Cologne, affiliated with the CMMC and collaborating with CECAD. Her research focuses on the molecular basis of age-related skin pathologies and regenerative responses.

• Investigates tissue regeneration, immunometabolism, and TOR signaling
• Develops therapeutic strategies for injured/aging tissues
• Uses cross-species models (mice, zebrafish, Drosophila, humans)

Her work bridges basic science and clinical expertise to translate findings into therapeutic approaches, particularly examining:

• Metabolic reprogramming in wound healing
• Immune system's role in regeneration vs. scarring
• Lipid synthesis and filaggrin processing in skin barrier formation
• Scarless repair mechanisms in zebrafish vs. mammals

She leads research into molecular control systems including:

• Cell death regulation (FADD-RIPK3 pathways)
• Nutrient-sensing TOR pathway in skin aging
• Glutamine metabolism in stem cell maintenance

Her group develops genetically modified mouse models and collaborates on clinical trials for impaired healing conditions.
