Research Group: Transcriptome & Proteome Profiling

The Transcriptome & Proteome Profiling research group (focus: transcriptomics) develops and uses microarray synthesis/analysis methods to investigate the spatial transcriptome of plants and chemoreceptor-bearing cells of the digestive tract in order to characterize the effects of active substances depending on food production and processing. It develops DNA- and RNA-based methods for tracing, authenticating, and monitoring food during storage and transport.
