Overview

Eberhard Fuchs is affiliated with the German Primate Center in Germany and has a research focus that spans biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their work predominantly engages with molecular biology and cell biology, alongside specialized investigation in oncology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and epidemiology.

The scientist's research topics are centered around several key biological signaling pathways and cellular processes. These include:

  • Hippo pathway signaling and YAP/TAZ
  • Wnt/β-catenin signaling in development and cancer
  • Hedgehog signaling pathway studies
  • Cellular transport and secretion
  • Axon guidance and neuronal signaling
  • Nonmelanoma skin cancer studies
  • Cutaneous melanoma detection and management

Fuchs has contributed to various scientific publications across multiple venues. Frequent publication venues include:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • British Journal of Dermatology
  • Nature Cell Biology
  • Cancers
  • Cells

Their recent papers cover topics ranging from epigenetic regulation to signaling networks in cancer and cell adhesion. Notable recent publications are:

  • "The polarity protein Yurt associates with the plasma membrane via basic and hydrophobic motifs embedded in its FERM domain," 2024, Journal of Cell Science
  • "EGFR Phosphorylates and Associates with EFNB1 to Regulate Cell Adhesion to Fibronectin," 2025, Molecular & Cellular Proteomics
  • "The pioneer factor SOX9 competes for epigenetic factors to switch stem cell fates," 2023, Nature Cell Biology
  • "Skin Cancers and the Contribution of Rho GTPase Signaling Networks to Their Progression," 2021, Cancers
  • "High Throughput strategies Aimed at Closing the GAP in Our Knowledge of Rho GTPase Signaling," 2020, Cells

Collaboration has played a role in Fuchs' research output, with frequent co-authors including Alexandra Jetté, Patrick Laprise, Omer Kleiner, Rachael Manion, and Jan Dutz.
