The main effort of my work is to flourish the research group BIOINFORMATICS at the LRR-TUM .

Our work focuses on the identification and analysis of problems in applied and theoretical molecular biology, and on the development of well suited software solutions, especially for the convenient and rapid analysis of nucleic acid and protein sequences. One focal point is set to parallelization and high performance systems.

The current goals are the rapid molecular analysis of microorganisms and their identification by phylogeny. Our efforts comprise the analysis of bacterial genomes, alignments of structural and functional genes, probe/primer design and evaluation, design and evaluation of DNA-Microarrays (DNA-Chips), as well as molecular phylogeny on supercomputers. Many of the software tools will be implemented in the ARB software package in close cooperation with the Department for Microbiology, Technische Universität München.

My particular interests target the bioinformatic aspects of microbial genomics, probe/primer design, proteomics, phylogeny and biodiversity.
