Home Other Scientific Groups Other Scientific Groups Environmental Biotechnology Max Planck Fellow: Lars AngenentWe are researching the recovery of carbon from wastewater and industrial waste gases using bioprocess engineering. 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 Adaptive evolution of filamentous plant pathogens Group Leader: Thorsten LangnerPlant pathogens are in constant coevolutionary conflict with their hosts. Selective forces imposed by the host plants have shaped the pathogen genomes and left molecular signatures in virulence related proteins. more
