Forschungsschwerpunkte
| Radiation Response and Genome Stability | A major research interest at the department is the structure, function and stability of the (epi)genome and its response to genotoxic stress. |
| Synthetic Biology | Synthetic Biology can be defined as the design and construction of novel artificial biological pathways, of novel organisms and devices and the re-design of existing biological systems. |

Molecular and Cellular Responses to Ionizing Radiation (Radiation Biology, Graduate College 1657) | The DFG-funded Graduate College 1657 provides an excellent interdisciplinary environment for research in molecular radiation biology together with a comprehensive education curriculum in this field. Research is focusing on different aspects of the molecular and cellular response and molecular targets to ionizing irradiation. |
| LOEWE Research Cluster CompuGene | Der LOEWE Schwerpunkt „CompuGene“ hat das Ziel, in einem interdisziplinären Ansatz computergestützte Verfahren zu entwickeln, um die Realisierung komplexer genetischer Schaltkreise in biologischen Systemen zu ermöglichen. |
| LOEWE Research Cluster iNAPO | Der LOEWE Schwerpunkt „iNAPO – ionenleitende Nanoporen“ beschäftigt sich mit dem Bau von Sensoren im Nano-Maßstab nach dem Vorbild der Natur. |
