linkPfeil Heike Boehm: Glyco-Biophysics Group
Many mammalian cells are enveloped by a sugar-protein coat. This coat plays a maior role in all interactions of the cell with its environment. Thus our main research interest is the analysis of the dynamic properties of this pericellular matrix. [more]
linkPfeil Cavalcanti-Adam Group: Focal Adhesion Regulation
The goal of the group is to determine how nanoscale features of the extracellular environment control cell function. We focus on the spatial regulation of integrin receptor clustering and on the cross talk with other transmembrane receptors. [more]
linkPfeil Haraszti Group: Biomimetic Actin Cortex Models
The actin cortex is a several hundred nanometer thin layer of crosslinked actin mesh under the cell membrane. In our research we construct in-vitro 2D networks of actin modelling this the biophysical-chemical properties of the cortex in a microfluidic environment. [more]
linkPfeil Kemkemer Group
We are interested in biophysical aspects of dynamic cellular reorganizations, in the development of cell-type specific biomaterials, and in cellular controller systems. [more]
linkPfeil Kudera Group
We investigate on colloidal nanocrystals and their synthesis methods with a special interest in the immobilisation of the nanocrystals on the patterned substrates. By this the flexibility of the synthesis and the potential applications of the substrates might be united. [more]
linkPfeil Majer Group
We perform single molecule microscopy based on TIRF excitation to track fluorescent molecules. A major application of this technique is to study the diffusive behaviour of proteins in living cells and their interaction with precisely specified nanostructured surfaces. [more]
linkPfeil Pacholski Group
Synthesis of nanomaterials and investigation of their properties for the development of sensors and optical elements. [more]
linkPfeil Rustom Group

linkPfeil Lee-Thedieck Group: Stem Cell Research
Hematopoietic stem cells are only able to expand in a specialized microenvironment, the so-called stem cell niche. We work on the development of a nanostructured biomaterial for the in vitro propagation of hematopoietic stem cells. [more]
