Medizinisches Proteom-Center

Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Katrin Marcus-Alic, the Medizinisches Proteom-Center is one of the world's leading institutes. Its research interest covers all medical areas as well as natural scientific fundamentals. The methods used, include gel- and chromatography-based separation techniques with subsequent mass spectrometry, protein biochips and innovative bioinformatics.

Core Unit Bioinformatics to be expanded

In addition to proteomics, genomics and transcriptomics are moving centre stage. A new computing cluster is also going into operation.
