JCS interview with Sandra Iden ahead of our 50 year anniversary meeting 2025

Sandra Iden is Professor and Chair of Cell and Developmental Biology at Saarland University in Homburg, Germany. Her research focuses on cell–cell communication in epithelial tissue homeostasis, with a major emphasis on understanding the mechanisms that control cell polarity and cytoarchitecture, and heterotypic interactions between epithelial cells and non-epithelial tissue-resident cell types. Sandra is currently President of the German Society for Cell Biology (Deutsche Gesellschaft fü r Zellbiologie; DGZ), which is celebrating its 50th anniversary year in 2025. We spoke with Sandra over Zoom to learn about her career path, her journeys into leadership in science, and how she thinks the DGZ and other scientific societies can best serve the research community today and into the future.

Zellen verstehen – Krankheiten entschlüsseln

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zellbiologie (DGZ) wird 50

Zellen sind die kleinsten lebendigen Einheiten unseres Körpers. Wie Zellen ihre vielfältigen Aufgaben erfüllen, untersucht die Zellbiologie. Dazu vereint sie verschiedene wissenschaftliche Fachrichtungen wie zum Beispiel die Genetik, Biochemie, Morphologie und Entwicklungsbiologie. Nur im Zusammenspiel der Fachrichtungen können zelluläre Lebensvorgänge aufgedeckt und die Grundlagen von Erkrankungen entschlüsselt werden. Zellbiologische Forschung wird hierzulande durch die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zellbiologie (DGZ) gefördert. Nun feiert die DGZ ihren 50. Geburtstag.
