TC-BIOsens
Development of different biofunctional surfaces as sensory interfaces for (non)-cellular analysis. (Dr. Peter Lanzerstorfer, TIMed 2022++ 1,124,185,- Euro)
TC-NoFAT
Combination of cell biology, bioanalytics and bioinformatics to characterize plant extracts for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). (Dr. Bernhard Blank-Landeshammer, TIMed 2022++ 112.524,- Euro)
Cell surface clusters of MHC class I molecules
The two-hybrid antibody micropattern technique that differentiates the conformational forms of class I MHC will be used to investigate the formation of these clusters, their structure, and their physiological role, and complement this work with single-molecule microscopy, biochemistry, and in silico studies. (Dr. Peter Lanzertorfer, FWF JOINT, 276.853,- Euro)
PhytoFERM
