The business unit Bioscience studies genetic and physiological processes, using state-of-the-art scientific tools in the field of molecular and cell biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, physiology, physics and informatics. We study the regulation, organisation and molecular coordination of metabolic routes, and the development and reproduction of plants for various applications.
Key concepts are:
- high-throughput analyses of DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolites
- genome analyses and bioinformatics
- bioactive and health promoting compounds
- the plant as factory, e.g. for the production of pharmaceutical proteins
- stress biology
- quality traits of plants, such as taste, flavour, insect resistance and plant architecture
- chemical biology: interaction profiling human receptors with plant compounds
More information about these key concepts can befound under:
