Description of Content:
This programme unites research activities aimed at an integrated view of the cell and its regulatory networks, with the leading question being how subcellular modules of cells interact and function at the level of gene regulation, signal transmission, and topology. Model systems range from prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotic microbes to plant and animal cells including disease models, enabling the identification of conserved principles. Furthermore, platforms are available for the analysis of genomes, transcription signatures, large scale protein identification, metabolomics, and imaging, together with large scale data analysis and quantitative modelling.

Research centres around two major themes. The first deals with cell fate control, asking how cells control their proliferation and survival, their differentiation and function, and their response to external signals ranging from nutrients to stress. It also includes the analysis of cancer. The second theme addresses topology and dynamics of intracellular compartments as well as with intercellular communication. The programme integrates "red", "green", and prokaryotic cell biology. It is affiliated with two DFG Research Units dealing with cancer (RU 942 and CRU 179).
