Structure, Function and Regulation of Biomolecules
This research program focuses on the analysis of the structure-function-relationships of biological macromolecules, on the elucidation of their functional regulation and on their interaction in biological machines and molecular networks. This also includes, among other things, the investigation of epigenetic control mechanisms, the regulation of the basal transcription machinery and of mRNA, the folding and quality control of proteins as well as the intracellular processing of signals.
