We are interested in yeast systems biology. Budding yeast - scientifically called Saccharomyces cerevisiae - is a microorganism, which belongs to the kingdom of Fungi. Since many years yeast has been used as a well-proven model in cell biology of eukaryotes.
Based on its excellent accessibility to molecular genetics yeast has recently also become a pacemaker in modern automatized high-throughput technologies and systems biology.
These qualities make budding yeast a "rosetta stone" for deciphering life systems.
Our research mission is:
