Research and Teaching Interests
In our laboratory, we are investigating important questions at the interface of chemistry, biology and medical research, employing a combination of analytical chemistry, physical chemical and electrochemical techniques as well as experimental methods in molecular biology and biochemistry. Disease detection, quantification of cell membrane receptor activity and position, monitoring the correlation of membrane pumps with feature activity, and electrochemical sensing of receptor-drug interactions are focus of research in our group. We are currently working on projects in the fields of endocrinological diseases, antibiotic drug resistance in pathogens, mitochondrial dysfunctions and cancer development.
