Our research team
The Chair of Bioanalytics of the Berlin
Institute of Technology (Department of Process Sciences, Institute of
Biotechnology) is located at the campus Gustav-Meyer-Allee in the
north of Berlin. Since 2011 it is under the supervision of Prof. Dr.
Juri Rappsilber and the representative Prof. Dr. Leif-Alexander Garbe.
Our research is focused on analytical issues of complex biological
systems.
The research group led by Prof. Rappsilber deals with the interactions
of proteins with a special focus on chromatin, the structure of our
cells, which contains the genome and thus our heritage. Therefore new
specially designed methods using chemistry, mass spectrometry and
computer science have to be developed by this
group. https://rappsilberlab.org/ [1]
The research group led by Professor Garbe explores the elucidation of
biosyntheses and biotransformations. Active compounds from microbial
and plant cell systems are obtained and characterized by
chromatography, mass spectrometry, chiral analysis and nuclear
magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In collaboration with the VLB
Research Institute for "Special Analysis" this group
analysis key components in aroma formation and aging of beer and
explains the relevant metabolic pathways. Research Institute for
"Special Analysis" [2]
Currently there are 14 people as research assistants, technical
staff and tutors in our research and teaching team. A constantly
changing number of students and interns are active at the chair of
bioanalytics.
