Theoretical Biophysics
Head: Prof. Edda Klipp
We study complex biological phenomena by combining computational approaches with experimental methods. Our research interests range from modeling specific signaling and metabolic pathways to whole-cell modeling using e.g. ODE, Boolean and agent-based modeling techniques.

Experimental Biophysics / Mechanobiology
Head: Prof. Enrico Klotzsch
Our group aims in bridging the gap between structural and cell biology, particularly to decipher the mechanical aspects of how cells sense and react to their environment.
