  Concentration is key: unravelling mechanisms regulating Auxin Response Factor stability

  We strive for a more complete understanding of how the phytohormone auxin steers virtually all developmental processes that constitute plant life. We...

  Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of transcription factors

  In this project, we investigate the biological role of liquid-liquid phase separation of auxin response factors (ARFs) in the plant Marchantia. We...

  Quantitative understanding of a dynamic protein interaction network

  Biological functions of a protein depend largely on it’s cellular localization and concentration. These parameters are even more crucial for...
