Optobiology
Head: Prof. Marina Mikhaylova


Cellular Biophysics
Head: Prof. Andrew Plested
In the Cellular Biophysics group, we study glutamate receptors and other components of fast synaptic transmission.


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.


Experimental Biophysics
Head: Prof. Peter Hegemann
Our research group studies the structure-function relation of sensory photoreceptors from algae, fungi and bacteria.


Biophysics of the Photosynthesis
