Research Groups

• Adhikary Lab We study how transcription is regulated in disease as well as its modulation by druggable factors, in particular by nuclear receptors.
• Bauer Lab We are investigating the epigenetic and gene-regulatory functions of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) in mammalian cells.
• Brehm Group We maintain a large scale fly culture and are combining biochemical, genetic and molecular biology approaches to investigate conserved tumour suppressor complexes and chromatin regulators.
• Liefke Lab We aim to better understand repressive chromatin regulatory mechanisms in physiological and pathophysiological contexts.
• Mermoud Lab We wish to understand the chromatin-based mechanisms which control the identity and fate of mammalian cells.
• Müller Lab Our main research interest is translational cancer research with a focus on human ovarian cancer. We are particularly interested in transcriptional networks, therapy resistance, the tumor microenvironment and tumor metabolism. This work is closely linked to our interest in the nuclear receptor PPARβ/δ.
