…iscovered several receptors and channels that can identify, sort, and transport the new proteins into the correct cell organelles. The findings of Professor Pfanner and his research group thus also laid important foundations for improving our understanding of mitochondrial diseases, including neurological diseases and other severe system diseases. F…

…counting for the different historical and cultural backgrounds. This enabled us to identify the common foundations of the two currently different systems, providing us with a basis for a common dialogue,” explains Rolf Stürner. The principles include recommendations for rules of procedure and curtail the jurisdiction of US courts. In addition, they…

…e cell,” explains Pfanner. One wrong transport, one protein in the wrong place, one wrong form – such tiny defects in the mitochondria often lead to diseases of the central nervous system. “We are beginning to develop a molecular understanding of diseases. We have reached the point where we can start conducting worthwhile applied research on the bas…

…0. The software met with broad acceptance: The students found particularly high praise for the possibility to simulate complex processes with the help of animated models and for the interactive exercises. The initiator of the project is Prof. Dr. Karl-Reinhard Volz, who also succeeded in securing considerable funding for its development and implemen…

…g Award for her course “Das menschliche Gehirn – ein Mal- und Bastelkurs” (The Human Brain – A Painting and Crafts Course). The course provides students of the bachelor program in biology a hands-on approach to learning the neuroanatomy of the human brain, enabling them to understand its structure and complex functions more easily. Students of the c…

From this foundation, the university students are then able to develop strategies and methods with which to improve their evaluation of pupil language skills and provide constructive feedback. As they do this, the university students gain understanding of the complex processes that take place when learni…

…focusing on systems biology more than ten years ago as one of the first scientists in Germany. This approach pools the expertise of biologists, medical researchers, physicists, and mathematicians to produce a new, more exact understanding of life processes, health, and disease. Timmer is convinced that biological processes can be represented in math…
