Patrick Babinger Funktionsaufklärung von Enzymen Sascha Bandulik Molecular pathophysiology of the adrenal cortex We are interested in the physiological regulation of aldosterone synthesis and in its cellular pathology. Oliver Bosch Neurobiology of reproductive behaviour Maternal behaviour is the most important social behaviour of a lactating mother. How is this behaviour regulated by the brain neuropeptides vasopressin, oxytocin and corticotropin-releasing factor? Björn Brembs Spontaneous Behavior and Operant Learning: We use invertebrate model systems to study the neurobiology of behavior: how do brains decide what to do next? Wolf Hayo Castrop Tomer Czaczkes Individual and collective decision making in ants Ant colonies achieve amazing feats of organisation. Individual ants are also surprisingly smart. We explore how individual behaviours affects colony decisions. Arne Dittmer Developing Scientific Awareness, Communications Skills and Reflective Practice We investigate the professional development of biology teachers concerning the competence to teach students about ethical issues, scientific controversies or the cultural meaning of biology.
Thomas Dresselhaus Reproduction, Fertility and Development With a focus on the regulation of cell polarity, identity and signaling we are studying plant germline development and function, fertilization mechanisms and early seed development. more Veronika Egger Neuronal mechanisms of odor processing We investigate processing of olfactory stimuli within the olfactory bulb, both at the level of individual synapses and in neuronal networks. Christoph Engel Structural Biochemistry of transcription We use structural Biology tools, such as cryo-Electron Microscopy and X-ray crystallography to elucidate ribonuclear-protein complex structures at atomic resolution. This allows us to study the molecular basis of transcription by eukaryotic RNA-polymerases. Rudolf Fuchshofer Regulation der extrazellulären Matrix nn Klaus Grasser Chromatin, gene expression
and developmentWe study how transcript elongation and co-transcriptional processes in the chromatin context modulate plant developmental responses.
Joachim Griesenbeck Chromatin dynamics in yeast Our research aims to investigate structural and compositional changes in chromatin when a eukaryotic gene switches its transcriptional state. Dina Grohmann single molecule biochemistry

Silke Härteis Translationale Nieren- und Tumorforschung: From bench to bedside and from bedside to bench Forschung Silke Härteis
VHB Kurs - 3D-in-vivo-Tumor-Modell
Einsatzmöglichkeiten des 3D-in-vivo-Tumor-Modells in der Forschung sowie in der Ausbildung von Studierenden der MedizinFlorian Hartig Theoretical Ecology We study theory, models and statistical methods in ecology, evolution and conservation. Winfried Hausner nn Gudrun Herzner Antimicrobial defense strategies of insects We investigate the diverse and elaborate defense mechanisms insects deploy to fight pathogenic and competing microorganisms. Aline Koch Plant RNA Transport We study how regulatory non-coding and coding RNAs can be used as "sprayable RNAs" to improve the agricultural value of crops Markus Kretz Long Noncoding RNAs in Tissue Homeostasis We focus on investigating the roles of long non-coding RNAs in regulation of normal and neoplastic tissue. Karl Kunzelmann Ionentransport beim Gesunden und Kranken Armin Kurtz Renin producing cells of the kidney How is the development, differentiation and function of renin producing cells in the kidney regulated and coordinated and how are the cell integrated into the blood pressure control of the body .

Inga D. Neumann Behavioural and Molecular Neurobiology We study genetic, molecular and neuronal mechanisms underlying emotional and social behavior, focusing on the neuropeptides oxytocin, vasopressin, and neuropeptide S, and by chronic stress. Christoph Oberprieler Plant Evolution and Systematics We study evolutionary processes that shape plant diversity. Molecular techniques, phylogenetic methods, and population genetic tools are used to investigate particularly the effects of hybridization and polyploidization in plant evolution. Jan Oettler Evolutionary Innovation and Rapid Adaptation Evolution produces a huge diversity of forms and functions. I use ants to understand how. Markus Reichold Pathophysiologie des tubulären Transports in der Niere Christoph Reisch Molecular Ecology and Conservation Genetics Genetic variation is essential for plant evolution and conservation. We analyse the mechanisms creating genetic variation and ask how much variation is needed for the longterm protection of endangered plant species Bild Bild Structural Bioinformatics
We study ... Joachim Ruther Chemical communication in insects We study chemical cues and signals used by insects for communication and orientation within complex environments. Developmental Biology and Neurodegeneration Entwicklungsbiologie We use the model organism Drosophila melanogaster to study gene functions related to human diseases which either affect the process of development or lead to neurodegeneration as in Parkinson’s disease. Rainer Schreiber Ano 6 and kidney function Calcium-activated chloride channels (Ano 1-10) play important roles in transepithelial transport, but the cellular function is still unsolved. Eva Schultner Ecology - Evolution – Development I want to understand how environment – and especially social environment – influences individual development and modulates evolution of complex traits.

Wolfgang Seufert Regulation of the Cell Division Cycle We study how cells proceed through mitosis and how cell cycle entry is influenced by mRNA translation using budding yeast as a model. Frank Sprenger Cell Cycle Control in Drosophila How is cell proliferation controlled and coordinated in a multicellular organism? Ask the fruit Drosophila more Stefanie Sprunck Flowering plant gamete interactions and polar tip growth We isolate flowering plant gametes to identify the molecular mechanisms of gamete interactions. Tip growth is studied in pollen tubes and root hairs. Reinhard Sterner Enzyme evolution and protein design We are reconstructing the evolution of enzymes in the laboratory and are designing tailor-made proteins more Erhard Strohm Evolutionary and chemical ecology of insects We study behavioural, physiological and chemical adaptations of insects focussing on interactions of bees and wasps with brood parasites and symbionts. Ernst Tamm Homöostase des menschlichen Auges nn Herbert Tschochner rRNA Synhese Our interest is to understand mechanism and regulation of the RNA polymerase I transcription machinery. Charlotte Wagner Rekrutierung reninbildender Zellen in der Niere Richard Warth Genetic disorders of renal transport We study the mechanisms by which mutated genes cause kidney diseases. Ralph Witzgall Mechanismen des Nierenversagens Christine Ziegler Structure and function of membrane proteins
