In the priority area "Dynamics of Cellular Processes", 12 participating chairs and research groups investigate fundamental biochemical and molecular biological reactions in different eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems such as plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. The aim is to understand and, if necessary, modulate the functional interactions of the molecular cell components that control complex cellular processes and allow dynamic adaptations to changing conditions.
In the priority area of functional biodiversity research, the focus is on the diversity of living things. The five participating chairs and working groups focus on research into the diversity of organisms from the molecular to the ecosystem level, on the evolution and ecology of fungi, plants and animals, and on the influence of humans on biodiversity and biodiversity loss.
In the research area of protein research and biotechnology, the role of proteins and RNA molecules in controlling biological processes and the possibilities of using them for biocatalysis are investigated. In doing so, the participating chairs and research groups use a broad spectrum of bioinformatics, molecular biological, biochemical and biophysical methods to investigate questions ranging from basic research to translation into medicine or biotechnology. Findings from investigations at the atomic and molecular level are transferred to the level of cells and organisms to understand complex physiological processes.
