Virology
The virology group works with positive strand RNA viruses of the family Flaviviridae and Noroviruses.
Main focus of research are RNA replication, virion morphogenesis and virus-host interactions.

Cell Biology
The main focus in cell biology is on embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells as in vitro model systems to study mechanisms of cell differentiation, including cell-matrix and cell-virus interactions.
Another central aspect is the molecular and functional analysis of connective tissue in several human disorders - especially in wound healing and sclerotic skin diseases.
