The Andean páramo is the most biodiverse high-mountain region on Earth and past glaciation dynamics during the Quaternary are greatly responsible for its plant diversification.

Plant biotechnology predominantly relies on a restricted set of genetic parts with limited capability to customize spatiotemporal and conditional expression patterns.

One of the most fundamental assumptions in biology is that the amino acid sequence defines protein structure and that this sequence carries no memory of the specific mRNA codon sequence from which it was translated.

Microbial ecosystems are the life support system for the planet, and it is important to understand how microbial species will adapt in response to the selective pressures applied by humans and the changing climate.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) greatly expand proteome complexity and can dynamically tune protein function. Already during their synthesis, proteins are co-translationally processed and N-α-acetylated at their N-terminus.

The rise of angiosperms (flowering plants) was a major revolution in Earth’s history, yet many aspects of their diversification remain unresolved.

The inaugural Chris Bryant Memorial Lecture is an event jointly organised by the Research School of Biology and CPAS. This year's lecture will be presented by Alexander Maier, a professor in the Research School of Biology. Professor Maier will discuss “Sushi, Sex and Mind Control – Why Parasites (still) Matter."
