Johannes Koch

Dr. Johannes Koch is a Research Fellow at the University of Duisburg-Essen, affiliated with the Department of Molecular Cell Biology and the Imaging Centre Campus Essen (ICCE). His research examines Rho GTPases (Rac1, CDC42, RhoA) as regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics in processes like cell migration, wound healing, and embryonic development.

Research employs fluorescent biosensors to map spatial-temporal regulation of Rho GTPases in cancer cell lines. Technical expertise includes:

• Advanced microscopy techniques
• Biochemical and cell biology methods
• Quantitative image analysis
• Cancer cell line modeling

Practical applications focus on metastasis understanding and drug development targeting misregulated cell migration. Koch values scientific collaboration and maintains strong ties to Ruhrgebiet communities through sports and family activities.
