Katrien de Bock

Prof. Dr. Katrien de Bock is a full professor and deputy head of the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zürich. The De Bock laboratory focuses its research on investigating how endothelial cells rewire their metabolism during angiogenesis and how endothelial cells metabolically communicate with other cell types in the muscle microenvironment to maintain or establish muscle homeostasis. Specific interest goes to deciphering mechanisms of blood vessel growth and endothelial metabolic crosstalk in the muscle following exercise and/or muscle injury.
