Research at the MFPL is curiosity-driven and spans the field of Molecular and Cell Biology. Most groups investigate basic research questions but a significant number are also active in more applied fields of biology.

Please select a research area to find out which research groups are working within the respective topic:

Biochemistry & Structural Biology  |  Computational Biology & Biophysics  |  Developmental Biology & Disease Mechanisms  |  Genetics, Epigenetics & Gene Regulation  |  Nucleus & Chromosome Biology  |  Immunology & Pathogens  |  Molecular Cell Biology  |  Neuroscience  |  Populations, Adaptations & Evolution

• BioOptics - FACS|
• BioOptics - Light Microscopy|
• Electron Microscopy Facility|
• Fish & Marine Facility|
• Genomics|
• Histology|
• MassSpectrometry|
• Monoclonal Antibody Facility|
• NMR Facility|
• Plant Facility|
• CSF - Campus Science Support Facilities

Scientific collaboration is a major element and inevitable prerequisite for excellence in basic research. Our group leaders are therefore actively involved in local, national and international research networks.
