Department of Physiological Chemistry

We investigate how cells sense, interpret and adapt to an ever-changing environment through the coordinated action of metabolites, chromatin regulators and signalling networks in health and disease.

Our Research

We explore the molecular logic that links metabolism, nuclear structure and genome function across atomic scales and biological systems, from 3D genome and protein structures to chromatin-based gene regulation.

Research Groups

Our Translation

Our translational efforts focus on metabolic disease and cancer, where we aim to develop much-needed transformative and sustainable biomedical solutions.
