Home Other Scientific Groups Other Scientific Groups Evolution of adaptive immunity in vertebrates Emeritus DIrector: Thomas BoemOur research focuses on the evolution and design principles of adaptive immune systems in vertebrates. We use a comparative approach, studying various species, from basal vertebrates to humans. more Color Pattern Formation Group leader: Christiane Nüsslein-VolhardWe use the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism to study pigment pattern formation in a vertebrate. more Evolution of Pigment Pattern Formation in Danio Fish Group leader: Uwe IrionStarting from zebrafish, we investigate the genetic basis of the diversification of color patterns in the group of Danio fish. more Environmental Biotechnology Max Planck Fellow: Lars AngenentWe are researching the recovery of carbon from wastewater and industrial waste gases using bioprocess engineering. more
