Institute of Comparative Molecular Endocrinology
Under the lead of Prof. Dr. Jan Tuckermann the Institute of Comparative Molecular Endocrinology is devoted to the analysis of hormonal control mechanisms of stress-, ageing and life style related disorders. The focus of the three independent research groups is glucocorticoid hormones in immune system and bone integrity, hormonal regulation of iron homeostasis as well as hormonal and aging-related changes in the expression and activation of RAS GTPases. Besides its diverse activities in science. The institute is involved in teaching of the faculty of natural sciences (Bachelor and Master programs) and the faculty of medicine. In addition to different courses covering basic biological topics the institute offers Bachelor- and Master thesis projects dealing with latest scientific questions.
Scientists of the Institute of Comparative Molecular Endocrinology are part of the Collaborative Research Center 1149 „Danger Response, Disturbance Factors and Regenerative Potential after Acute Trauma“. Here they are presenting their work on their project „Molecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid action during fracture healing after severe trauma“ (Projekt C2).
