Research groups

The research groups at BiO apply functional genomics to studies of cellular communication and signalling. Specifically the Taskén group studies receptor-mediated signalling and protein phosphorylation. The Nilsen group studies DNA damage signals whereas the new group to be headed by Dr. Bernd Thiede will study death signalling and apoptosis. Various functional genomics methods and approaches are being pursued at BiO and encompass proteomics, and interactomics, bioinformatics, molecular imaging and array analyses. Genome and proteome-wide studies are being conducted in human and animal models as well as in genetic model organisms such as C. elegans.
