DNA transfer by conjugation in live-cells DNA conjugation is a contact-dependent horizontal gene transfer mechanism responsible for the dissemination of metabolic properties in bacteria, including drug resistance. Despite…
Molecule-Scale Resolution and Dynamics in Fluorescence Microscopy I will show how an in-depth description of the basic principles of diffraction-unlimited fluorescence microscopy has spawned MINFLUX [1-4], a recent…
Publication list - curated & annotated Recent highlights Bacteria use a general danger signal to trigger biofilm formation - Nature Microbiology 2025 Mechanical properties of biofilms measured with spatial resolution -…
Cell signaling and dynamics in bacterial growth, adaptation, and persistence Our studies aim at understanding the molecular and cellular principles involved in the growth, differentiation and behavior of bacterial cells. We…
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…
The ability of pathogens to multiply in the host is crucial for the spread of infections. The speed of bacterial division greatly depends on the environmental conditions. Under unfavorable conditions, such as nutrient…
Interview with Palmer Bassett She has a passion for the tiny worm C. elegans – not only because it offers so many possibilities for discovery but also because it brings together so many interesting people. This and the fact…
