|
| We work on signaling and regulation in bacterial cells, focusing in particular on regulatory phenomena based on protein phosphorylation. |
 |
|
We are combining methods of molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics and systems biology with the scope to study how cells regulate aging and death pathways. |
