We are currently working on three different research areas in our institute. In addition we are working on the joint project FOR2816 "The Autotrophy-Heterotrophy Switch in Cyanobacteria: Coherent Decision Making at Multiple Regulatory Layers" ("SCyCoDe").

Prof. Dr. Forchhammer

Research focus

• PII-signal tranduction systems in bacteria 
• Stress acclimation in cyanobacteria:
  • Nutrient Starvation
  • Ammonium stress acclimation

PD Dr. Maldener

• Differentiation in multicellular cyanobacteria

Dr. Khaled Selim

•  Coordination of central metabolism via PII and PII-like signaling 
•  Second Messenger Signalling
