The research in our lab is focussed on obtaining detailed information
about the structure/function relationships of macromolecules utilizing
x-ray crystallography in combination with biochemical and biophysical methods.
We currently focus on two research areas:
We investigate essential proteins involved in DNA repair processes and want to decipher the individual steps leading from damage recognition to removal of the lesion. In particular, we focus on the DNA repair system of Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER).
A structure-based-drug design approach to identify
new lead compounds against pathogenic organisms. Two of the main organisms we
currently focus on are Mycobacterium tuberculosis as w
