About us
At the Institute of Biophysics, we are looking at the dynamics and mechano-chemical function of individual molecules and their interactions and transport processes inside of living cells with the aim of increasing the mechanistic understanding of important biological processes including gene expression, DNA repair and chromatin organization.
For this task, we are developing novel methodologies in an interdisciplinary approach between Physics, Biology and Data Sciences, including single-molecule FRET, single-molecule microscopy in living cells, super-resolution optical microscopy and single-molecule force spectroscopy. In addition, we are developing data analysis methods to foster a quantitative understanding of biological processes.
