Research Groups
The specialised research groups of the laboratory.
Biomedical Research Group
We investigate the production, characterization, and interactions of biomaterials, functional polymers, and nanostructures with biological systems.
Computational Biology Research Group
We analyze genomic, transcriptomic, and multiomic data using computational methods and investigate molecular interactions through docking.
Mobile Element Research Group
The Mobile Element Research Group investigates how mobile genetic elements relate to genomic diversity, gene expression, and responses to environmental stress. Our work focuses on retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses, using…
Molecular Disease Modeling Research Group
We investigate molecular mechanisms of disease and the cellular effects of natural bioactive compounds using in vitro models and genetic analyses.
Natural Products Chemistry Research Group
We investigate the chemical properties and biological activities of plant extracts, essential oils, and isolated natural compounds.
Plant Pathology Research Group
We investigate the molecular biology of barley and wheat pathogens, antifungal compounds, and cereal stress responses.
Toxicology Research Group
The Toxicology Research Group studies the cellular effects of natural and synthetic substances using in vitro models. Our work focuses on cell viability, DNA damage, oxidative stress, and cell death.…
