We study the intricate and exquisite choreography of life at cellular, molecular and atomic levels. We visualize structural details ranging from cells, their compartments, down to individual proteins, nucleic acids, and their complexes. Through the integration of structural and computational data we reveal the atomic details of the mechanisms by which healthy cells function and diseases progress. This basic understanding helps to develop novel therapeutic strategies to meet the challenges of an…

Understanding the evolutionary-based strategies of plants. The knowledge acquired by –omic approaches, combined with our research experience in the areas of developmental and stress biology of plants, is subsequently used to develop new agricultural, biotechnology and biomedical applications in collaboration with potential users and top research workplaces in the field.

We are deepening our understanding of basic molecular mechanisms in many diseases, especially cancer. Researchers of the programme focus on various types of leukaemia and several solid tumours, they investigate immune cell microenvironment, transcription regulation, B and T cell receptor repertoires, and the effect of RNA modifications on innate immunity. For various malignancies, much effort has also been made to identify diagnostic and prognostic markers (miRNA profiling, lincRNA, mutations…
