Focus File:Someimage The lab pursues four interrelated research themes: Molecular population genetics and evolution (Drosophila and Arabidopsis) Functional evolution of cis-regulatory sequences (Drosophila) Canalization in development and evolution (Drosophila) Evolutionary dynamics of disease resistance and pathogenicity (Arabidopsis) News August 2008 Read our Nature Biotechnology article describing the application of MITOMI to high-throughput drug discovery targeting a Hepatitis C membrane protein. June 2008 Nano-Tera awarded a NTF grant to the Laboratory of Biological Network Characterization to develop the next generation of microfluidic devices.

March 2008 Prof. Maerkl received one of eight SystemsX RTD grants by the Swiss National Science Foundation to conduct research in the field of Systems Biology. The team involves a total of 4 PIs, including Prof. David Shore (U. Geneva), Prof. Michael Unser (EPFL), Prof. Felix Naef (EPFL), and Dr. Jacques Rougemont (EPFL) forming a dynamic team covering fields ranging from yeast molecular biology, image analysis, computational biology, bioinformatics, to microfluidics and synthetic biology.
