Artificial Intelligence Tools shed light on millions of proteins

In the past years, AlphaFold has revolutionised protein science. This Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool was trained on protein data collected by life scientists for over 50 years, and is able to predict the 3D shape of…


Projects

Research Projects The central theme of our research is to understand how stochastic interactions of cells and molecules control the functional behaviour of multicellular systems. We specifically focus on how cells interact…


Why antibiotics can fail even against non-resistant bacteria

In certain infectious diseases, antibiotics are less effective than expected, as seen in infections caused by Salmonella bacteria, which can lead to illnesses such as typhoid fever. For many years, researchers believed that…
