HOW do organisms adapt to the environment and how do they react to different biotic and abiotic stimuli?
major players in the conversion of such stimuli into cellular responses are hormones acting as signaling molecules. our lab is primarily interested in understanding the genetics and molecular biology of auxin and other plant hormone responses in the tiny weed arabidopsis thaliana. since several of these hormone-triggered signaling cascades are regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligases and functional characterization of their selective f-box protein subunits are another focus of our research activities.
we apply mostly genetic approaches, such as:

we are located at the leibniz institute of plant biochemistry (ipb) in halle. our junior research group is part of a larger research network that deals with structures and mechanisms of biological information processing, the so-called exzellenznetzwerk für biowissenschaften. see our static website.
