Facts & Details: 

Several of the Institute's projects focus on the molecular analysis of complex microbial communities and their association with inflammatory and environmental diseases, especially of the human intestine.

The molecular techniques used for the description of microbiota are either based on marker genes, which allow taxonomic investigation on the species and subspecies level (e.g. 16S rRNA based phylogenomics) or use broader metagenomic methods to analyze the metabolic repertoire of respective biological states. The extraction methods and analysis tools are scalable, partly automated and used in experiments from just a few observation points to larger cohorts of thousands of patients.

Regular platform meeting:
