Epigenomics and Single Cell Biophysics Group
Musa Mhlanga
The group of Musa Mhlanga works on gene regulation with a focus on single-cell and single-molecule biology. The core interest lies in nuclear architecture and the interplay of gene expression with coding and noncoding RNA. The researchers use several model systems, with a deeper focus on inflammation and immunity in recent years.
Chromatin Biophysics Group
Jorine Eeftens
The group of Jorine Eeftens aims to examine the functional relevance of the genome architecture and the biophysical mechanisms that drive it. The researchers use a multifaceted and interdisciplinary approach, ranging from single-molecule biophysics to genomics and engineering.
