Research Groups
Here you can find an overview of our research subjects.
-
Bauer Lab We are investigating the epigenetic and gene-regulatory functions of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) in mammalian cells.
-
Brehm Lab We maintain a large scale fly culture and are combining biochemical, genetic and molecular biology approaches to investigate conserved tumour suppressor complexes and chromatin regulators.
-
Liefke Lab We aim to better understand the regulatory mechanisms of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) in a physiological and pathophysiological context. In particular we want to better understand the role of PRC2-associated factors in stem cell biology and cancer.
-
Mermoud Lab We wish to understand the chromatin-based mechanisms which control the identity and fate of mammalian cells.
-
Müller Lab Our main research interest is translational cancer research with a focus on human ovarian cancer. We are particularly interested in transcriptional networks, therapy resistance, the tumor microenvironment and tumor metabolism. This work is closely linked to our interest in the nuclear receptor PPARβ/δ.
