The Bähler laboratory studies cellular quiescence, ageing and gene function using fission yeast and turquoise killifish as model systems. We apply diverse genetic, cellular, and systems-level approaches to analyse the regulation and evolution of genomes, complex ageing-associated processes, and relationships between genotype, phenotype and environment.

We are at the Institute of Healthy Ageing within the Research Department of Genetics, Evolution & Environment at UCL.

In November 2025, we started a secondment at The Francis Crick Institute.
