Research

Focusing on genomics, physiology, cell biology, bioinformatics, and bioprocess engineering, the department follows four main research lines:

• Optimization of product formation in fungal production systems

• Production of bioactive substances using fungal production systems

• Development of new antifungal agents and strategies

• Development of mushroom-based materials

Our current research is funded by:
DFG, BMBF, TU Berlin, SynPepBio, BASF and Rousselot.
We thank all former funders for their support.
