| Hartl, Ulrich |
Research in Hartl and Hayer-Hartl laboratory focuses on the mechanisms of protein folding and quality control in the cell. Our goal is to reach a comprehensive understanding, at the structural and functional level, of how the machinery of molecular chaperones assists folding through the cooperation of co- and post-translational mechanisms. |

| Niessing, Dierk |
Our goal is to understand the molecular principles underlying cargo recognition by transport complexes, complex assembly and activation, and eventually complex disassembly after the transport. |

While the circadian clock regulates metabolism, metabolic states, in turn, provide feedback to the circadian clock, modulating its function. We are investigating this molecular crosstalk in peripheral metabolic tissues from mice, employing interaction and spatial proteomics as well as phosphoproteomics. |

| Sattler, Michael |
The student will contribute to the cloning of expression constructs, recombinant protein production, and purification, forming the foundation for the structural and functional studies. Through this work, we aim to uncover key aspects of the Grp94 functional cycle, providing insights that are fundamental for understanding ER proteostasis and may ultimately inform future drug discovery efforts targeting Grp94. |

| Turck, Christoph W. |
The comparison of the proteome of diseased and healthy tissues and body fluids and the subsequent identification of the proteins that are different from normal in disease are pursued in order to unravel the pathogenesis of disease, to identify therapeutic targets, and to develop diagnostic tests. |
