Cancer biologist and immunologist Henning Walczak investigates cell death and ubiquitin in inflammation, cancer and (auto-)immunity.

The group of Marius Lemberg investigates cellular protein homeostasis mechanisms with a special focus on intramembrane proteolysis.

Stefan Höning and his group focus on the structural and functional analysis of intracellular transport mechanisms, regulation of endocytosis and organelle biogenesis and the corresponding communication.

Die Forschungsgruppe von Roland Knorr untersucht zelluläre Prozesse, die auf Kapillarkräfte angewiesen sind. Schwerpunkte sind Entstehungsmechanismen von Organellen wie z.B. Autophagosomen.

Ludwig Eichinger studies the mechanisms of autophagy and the non-canonical functions of core autophagy proteins in Dictyostelium discoideum.

The group of Emma Fenech investigates how specificity and functionality among secretory pathway homologs is determined.

Gianmaria Liccardi’s work focuses on the cross talk between inflammation, cell cycle and tissue homeostasis in pathophysiological diseases.

Julian Nüchel's research group is investigating the post-translational regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion and ECM homeostasis in the context of connective tissue and metabolic diseases.
