ChemBioSys: Chemical Mediators in Complex Biosystems

Chemical mediators play a key role in regulating the composition of communities and interactions of individual organisms of one or multiple species. Such ubiquitous interactions have fundamental implications for diverse habitats including soil and aquatic environments (plankton) as well as for symbioses and contacts with pathogens. Yet, the knowledge of chemical mediators is mainly limited to their function in bilateral relationships, and insight into the regulation of multi-partner interactions is urgently needed.

The aim of this CRC is to explore fundamental regulatory processes in complex biosystems that affect our daily lives. Representative biosystems involving fungi, bacteria, microalgae, plants, animals or even human cells will be studied in increasing levels of complexity.
