DMLS provides a lively, inclusive and diverse working environment where a wide range of cutting-edge approaches – including quantitative imaging, functional genomics, bioinformatics and computer simulations – are applied to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of living systems. Current research topics include cellular dynamics and organ differentiation, systems biology, viral infection and neuronal development and function. Further information
