My expertise / skills :	Genome sequencing (genomics) Gene and protein expression analysis (transcriptomics, proteomics) Bioinformatics analysis of molecular biological data Comparative genomics Plant pathology Microbial ecology Systems biology Bacteriology Technology transfer and teaching Our research group uses molecular biological techniques to decode processes in living organisms. This involves not only identifying the function of the genes of an organism (genomics), but also gene expression analysis (transcriptomics), investigating all the proteins present in a cell at a particular time (proteomics) and analyzing complex systems where many organisms coexist side by side, for example the soil (metagenomics). Our research group develops molecular biological tools for field-based diagnostics (point-of-care), which can identify pathogens accurately and at an early stage in order to develop sustainable control strategies. Close cooperation with key industry and research partners at national and international levels ensures that our research is always geared towards real-life applications.
