EastBio: Uncovering hidden costs to genetic diversity in hyperdiverse regions

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Deleterious mutations are widespread in nature. Determining their prevalence and strength is important for understanding evolutionary phenomena, including the evolution of reproductive modes, impact of genetic changes, wild conservation genetics, and medical genetics. Read more

EastBio: Phospho-regulation of microtubule-associated proteins in meiosis

  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Genes must be passed on accurately from cell to cell and from parents to children. Failure to do so can be a cause or contributing factor in human illnesses, such as cancer or reproductive problems/congenital conditions. Read more

Visualizing cellular proteostasis

Each cell relies on thousands of internal biochemical reactions, carried out by around ten thousand different types of proteins. These cellular proteins, collectively known as the proteome, must be synthesized in precise quantities, undergo correct folding, and be accurately localized within the cell. Read more
