Willmund-lab
Our lab focuses on understanding the factors regulating protein synthesis during acclimation and stress resilience in plants. We investigate protein biogenesis and photosystem assembly in the chloroplast, as well as explore innovative approaches in chloroplast synthetic biology.
Highlights
Our Research
The main focus of our lab is about understanding the complex formation of the photosynthetic machinery in the chloroplast, stress resiliance in photosynthetic organisms, identifying protein synthesis regulators during acclimation and how to harness the chloroplast gene-expression apparatus for synthetic biology.
Our Projects
We offer a variety of exciting projects for students, ranging from investigating the molecular mechanisms of protein synthesis in chloroplasts to developing innovative tools for synthetic biology. Our projects provide hands-on experience with cutting-edge techniques and the opportunity to contribute to impactful research in plant biology.
