In Vitro Reconstitution of the Minimal Eukaryotic Cell Cycle Oscillator
Cell growth and division are the basis of all forms of life.In eukaryotes, the clock-like cycles of genome duplication and cell division are orchestrated by a complex set of bioche...
The Flexible Brain: (Re-)shaping Adaptation in Semantic Cognition
The human brain is flexible. Neural networks adapt to cognitive demands by flexibly recruiting different regions and connections.Flexible network adaptation enables cognitive funct...
Growing Machines Capable of Rapid Learning in Unknown Environments
Despite major advances in the field of artificial intelligence, especially in the field of neural networks, these systems still pale in comparison to even simple biological intelli...
Reprogramming of somatic cells into organOids: patient-centred neurodevelopmental disease modelling from nascent induced pluripotency
Understanding the neurodevelopmental causes and mechanisms of the brain disease is challenging due to the limited access to the human brain tissues, the complexity of brain anatomy...
Mechanisms of protein SUMOylation and its functional consequences
Protein post-translational modification with small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMO1, -2, and -3), also known as SUMOylation, targets a third of human proteins, is essential for orga...
The Common Notion. Science and Consensus in the Seventeenth Century
NOTCOM is a philosophical study of common notions, collective inquiry, and dissemination strategies in seventeenth-century natural science, with special focus on the role of so-cal...
Correlated Ion elecTRon fOr Nanoscience
Electron and Ion beams have become indispensable tools in surface and materials science.Many applications rely on extreme miniaturization, like in nanostructuring and doping, which...
New multisensory technology for early intervention in infants with visual impairment
Visual impairments are disastrous for infants.They affect the infants’ reaching and motor skills, space perception, playing, socializing, physical functioning, psychological well-b...
Pre-commercialization of new generation Atomic-layer-deposited Lasers for future green high-performance data centers
The continuous growth of global data traffic pushes the data center technology boundaries and their energy consumption. Data centers already use more than 2% of the global electric...
Animals and Society in Bronze Age Europe
This project will create a new vision of Bronze Age ontologies by exploring the role of animals as active participants in Bronze Age social worlds.The impact of contemporary Capita...
From small-scale cooperative herding groups to nomadic empires – a cross-cultural approach
The main question of this research project is: can political complexity evolve from small-scale cooperative groups?The predominant view of nomadic empires – that they are caused by...
Finite-state abstractions of infinite-state systems
The algorithmic analysis of infinite-state systems is a central topicof theoretical computer science that is part of a popular approach tosoftware verification.While analyzing infi...
Inexhaustible Spring of Hyperpolarization For Magnetic Resonance
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has become a well-established and versatile tool in numerous fields of research and in industry, but features a relatively low sensitivity which pr...
Precision tissue biobanking made easy
Large scale biobanks are essential to meet the world-wide demand for high quality tissues to understand the development and progression of disease, or discover and validate novel b...
Bringing Nanospace to Life by Adapting Pore Environments to Chemical Complexity
The conformational flexibility and biological function of proteins is dictated by the positioning of a few amino acids into specific arrangements linked by peptide bonds.We intend...
Mechanisms and Functions of Brain- Body- Environment Interactions in C. elegans
Recent large-scaRecent large-scale neuronal activity recordings in awake, behaving animals revealed a new, unexpected neuroscientific principle: widespread neuronal activity patter...
PROcessing MEtaphors: Neurochronometry, Acquisition and DEcay
As the master figure of speech, metaphor is a powerful communicative tool that might nevertheless come with costs for our processing system.Research in different fields has highlig...
From face-to-face to face-to-screen: Social animals interacting in a digital world
Over millions of years, human survival has crucially depended on rapport building, seeking others’ social support, and sharing resources in groups.This social context has created c...
High-throughput combinatory drugs testing on in vitro 3D cells model platform
Drug combinations can lead to the discovery of novel drugs by increasing efficacy or lowering toxicity through synergy. This can boost existing drugs, rescue drug candidates, and a...
Flows for Algae Growth: Uncovering the multi-scale dynamics of living suspensions
Photosynthetic microalgae hold promise for the sustainable production of high-value products, bioplastics and biofuels.In bioreactors, suspensions of living, soft, and motile cells...
