Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard

As of November 1. 2014 Prof.em. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard is heading a research group: Colour pattern formation

Elisa Izaurralde († 2018)

Elisa Izaurralde and her department of biochemistry studied post-transcriptional mechanisms of gene expression, focusing on various aspects of RNA biology. The department used an interdisciplinary approach combining biochemistry and bioinformatics together with structural, molecular and cellular biology.

Gerd Jürgens (Dept. for Cell Biology)

Plants, like all multi-cellular organisms, have to develop from a single cell. In our group we are studying temporal and spatial signals that guide the establishment of the initial body organization in early embryogenesis.

Hans Meinhardt († 2016)

Hans Meinhardt has developed models for biological pattern formation that account for essential steps in development. Meanwhile many of the predicted interactions found are supported by molecular-genetic observations.

Alfred Gierer

Alfred Gierer's work is mainly concerned with the relation between life sciences and physics in general, as well as with the theory of pattern formation and neural development in particular.

Friedrich Bonhoeffer

Bacterial DNA replication, in vivo and in vitro; neuro-embryology, in vivo- and in vitro-studies of the topographic axonal projection from the retina to the tectum.
