The major topics currently under investigation in our laboratory are

Research Tools

We use the following tools for our laboratory work:

  • Modern molecular cloning methods (BioBrick assembly, Gibson & Aqua Cloning)
  • Report-gene activity measurements
  • RNA analysis (purification, hybridization, qPCR, in-line probing)
  • RNA interaction with RNA, proteins, ligands
  • Recombinant protein expression in E. coli and cyanobacteria
  • Protein purification and characterization (interaction studies, activity assays)
  • Metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria
  • Phenotypic analysis of cyanobacterial mutants

We use the following tools for our computational work:

  • In silico cloning with SnapGene
  • Data analyses with Python 3 and Jupyter Notebook/Lab
  • Data analyses with R and RStudio
  • Comparative genomic analysis
  • Flux Balance Analysis with COBRApy
