CellNetworks
Description
Cluster of Excellence Cellular Networks at Heidelberg University The cluster enhances Heidelberg’s outstanding focus on life-science with expertise from physical chemistry, biophysics, material science, engineering and advanced computation to create a powerful interdisciplinary platform well suited to sophisticated challenges. CellNetworks applies this integrative approach to achieve new and profound insight into biological networks drawn from the four focus areas
- Biogenesis, Interactions and Regulation of Protein Machines,
- Dynamics of Cell Architecture,
- Information Processing in Complex Multi-Cellular Networks,
- Alteration of Networks by Infectious Pathogens.
Frontier Science requires frontier technology. The sophisticated challenges the cluster faces demand powerful and often costly technology, normally exceeding single groups’ capabilities. Its unique structure allows CellNetworks to provide state-of-the-art technology to all cluster members, including
· deep sequencing
· electron and cryoelectron microscopy
· light microscopy (Nikon Imaging Center)
· RNAi screening
· protein crystallisation
· mass spectrometry
· single molecule spectroscopy
· high-end computation, simulation and modeling
Strongly emphasising method development, CellNetworks continuously expands available technologies and techniques. Cluster membership thus provides research groups with powerful technological resources otherwise not at their disposal.
