                                                    Research groups

                                                    Research at IBG-1 is subdivided into the topics “Systemic Microbiology”, “Systems Biotechnology”, "Bioorganic Chemistry" and "Molecular Enzyme Technology". They cover a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary competences ranging from biological basic research to engineering sciences. Scientific projects are tightly coordinated and worked on complementarily.

                                                    Systemic Microbiology

                                                    The topic „Systemic Microbiology“ headed by Prof. Bott performs research in molecular and applied microbiology.

                                                    Systems Biotechnology

                                                    The topic of „Systems Biotechnology“ headed by Prof. Wiechert is working on the development of bioprocesses based on a systems biology fundament.

                                                    Bioorganic Chemistry

                                                    The topic of ‚Bioorganic Chemistry‘ headed by Prof. Pietruszka is working on the development of chemoenzymatic transformations for the synthesis of chiral, enantiomerically pure key building blocks for natural product as well as active agent syntheses.

                                                    Molecular Enzyme Technology

                                                    The topic of ‚Molecular Enzyme Technology” headed by Prof. Jaeger deals with the identification, isolation and characterization of novel bacterial enzymes.
