  4. Research Groups

Groups in the research area Cell and Tissue Biology focus their research on:

  • Tumour Microenvironment and Signalling Pathways (Abraham/Zins),
  • the biology of Trophoblast Stem Cells (Latos),
  • the effects of Chromatin Modifications on the Homeostasis of the Epidermis (Seiser),
  • the Identification of Novel Mutations in familial autosomal recessive and dominant Orphan Diseases (Lucas), and
  • Chromatin Organisation and its influence on gene expression during Differentiation (Schöfer/Weipoltshammer)
  • the molecular processes resulting in particular Protein Aggregate Myopathies (Winter)

Groups in the research area Developmental Biology focus their research on:

  • Host-Symbiont Interactions during evolution (Miller),
  • the Biology of Aging (Pusch),
  • the functional and dynamic Architecture of Chromatin during Development and Differentiation (Schöfer/Weipoltshammer)

Groups in the research area Molecular Genetics and Orphan Diseases focus their research on

  • Neuromuscular and Neurodegenerative Diseases (Bittner/Schmidt),
  • the Development of Novel Therapeutic Strategies for Orphan Diseases (Lucas), 
  • human RNA Processing Enzymes and their Involvement in Disease (Rossmanith)

  • the molecular processes resulting in particular Protein Aggregate Myopathies (Winter)

Groups in the research area Epigenetics and RNA Biology focus their research on:
