Exploring Cutting-Edge Biological Signalling Research in Freiburg

The Lord Mayor of Freiburg, Martin Horn, recently embarked on a visit to the renowned Signalhaus Freiburg, a symbol of research excellence housing the Clusters of Excellence BIOSS (Biological Signalling Studies) and CIBSS (Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies). Accompanied by Ms....

2 new DFG research units at the University of Freiburg

The research units are aiming to reveal the potential of enzymatic catalysis and investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie bladder cancer.

First joint Open Day of CIBSS and BIOSS

In June, the two Freiburg signalling research centres CIBSS and BIOSS gave visitors insights into current research topics.

Beside the unique reaction center, efficient organismic photosynthesis requires additional arrays of chromophores to harvest photons and direct them by resonance energy transfer to the interspersed sites of charge separation. A crystal structure of the complex of a bacterial reaction center with light harvesting complex I now reveals new details on how the storage ring interacts with and connects to the site of charge separation.
