Projects

We study the cellular organization and regulation of metabolism by large macromolecular assemblies as well as giant microbial biosynthetic assembly lines. Our research builds on hybrid use of state-of-the-art cryo electron…


Hannah Jung

“A little more independent every day” During her first few days at the Research Summer, Hannah Jung was both excited and nervous about what lay ahead. But now, just a few weeks in, she knows that computational biology and…

Sara Congedi, Polymechanic Apprentice The mechanical workshop has been training polymechanics for several decades. The current head of the workshop, Patrick Schlenker, began his training here over 25 years ago. Sara Congedi…


Small but powerful: Tiny droplets for muscle endurance

In times of “home office”, lock downs and closed gyms, endurance sports is back in trend again. Jogging, biking or swimming keeps you healthy and makes your muscles fit. With regular training, the musculature adapts to be…

Cell’s recycling surprisingly efficient

Cells live and survive by taking up proteins, recycling and reusing or degrading them. The proteins are located on the cell surface and are transported from here into the cell’s interior. About 80 percent of these membrane…


“The fall wave has already started”

Mr. Neher, this is our first interview without masks since the beginning of the pandemic. Will this remain so? Richard Neher: If the number of cases increases, wearing face masks again in some settings makes sense. This not…


Researchers discover “folding factories” for proteins

Proteins are the workhorses of our cells: They transport substances, digest nutrients and serve as building blocks. To perform this wide range of tasks, they must be folded correctly. This process is ensured by an arsenal of…
