Model Systems of Medical Relevance

Model systems of medical relevance arise from the fundamental research and synthetic biology studies on (pathogenic) microorganisms and functionalized (synthetic) cell systems. Excellent examples are research lines that focus on i) the biogenesis, ageing, and turnover of organelles in eukaryotic microorganisms, aiming to understand for instance peroxisome-related diseases, ii) the production and modification of synthetic (peptide) antibiotics, iii) the assembly and control of transporters in membrane vesicles, iv) the characterization and production of healthy carbohydrates, and v) the full analysis of regulatory networks and proteins involved in multidrug resistance, virulence and microbial infections.
