Transregional Collaborative Research Center
Spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial cells
TRR 174
This DFG-funded collaborative research center comprises 16 groups from the Marburg and Munich areas.
Its goals are to
(i) elucidate the molecular mechanisms that regulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of cellular components in bacterial organisms
(ii) extract from the experimental data conserved design principles for spatiotemporally organized systems
(iii) mathematically model, design, and synthesize modules that spatially organize minimal cells or cell-free systems
