Research groups

Eichinger Lab

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

Fenech Lab

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

Höning Lab

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.

Knorr Lab

The group of Roland Knorr investigates cellular processes that rely on capillary forces. They focuses on the mechanisms underlying the formation of organelles such as autophagosomes.

Lemberg Lab

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

Liccardi Lab

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

Nüchel Lab

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.

Walczak Lab

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