Molecular biomedicine studies the development of organs, tissues, and cells in order to better understand the processes of life and to get to the root causes of disease. Using a variety of molecular and cellular biological analytical methods, researchers investigate how cells function at a fundamental level, communicate with one another, and perceive signals from their environment.
The various research groups at the CMB employ a diverse range of methods to examine and understand the roles and functions of healthy and diseased cells in greater detail. A detailed understanding of cell physiology enables the development of successful treatment strategies to combat diseases.
Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Department of Biochemistry, FSU:
At Science Cinema, we present the highlights of research at the CMB through short presentations for anyone who is curious or interested in science. Our posters provide detailed insights into scientific projects and invite discussion. In the “Molecule Kitchen,” visitors of all ages can get hands-on and, for example, work with us to decode the genetic code and then translate it into messenger mRNA and proteins—the macromolecular all-rounders.
Institute for Molecular Cell Biology, UKJ:
In the lab, scientists will demonstrate various methods for visualizing proteins and DNA and explain how these techniques can provide insights into different signaling functions. In addition, visitors can observe brightly colored cells under the microscope and learn more about different regulatory mechanisms in cells through video presentations and posters.
