Our research activities are organized into three working groups

The Pohl Group investigates the regulation and function of membrane proteins, with a particular focus on mitochondrial proteins.

The Schmalwieser Group studies the biological effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation and how these effects are influenced by climate change. The group also examines the photobiological effects of artificial UV radiation, taking into account increasing environmental pollution and resource scarcity.

The Nowikovsky Group explores the cross-talk between succinate dehydrogenase and fatty acid biosynthesis, aiming to better understand the interplay between cellular energy metabolism and lipid synthesis.
