Biomolecular Technology of Proteins – BioToP

BioToP offers an inter- and multi-disciplinary research-based doctoral education at the interface of basic and applied science in the field of protein biotechnology. BioToP provides comprehensive and thorough up-to-date research training in the fields of

• structure-function analysis, engineering and design of proteins,
• protein synthesis, targeting and post-translational modifications
• expression systems and cell factories
• bioinformatics and molecular modelling

Integration of this complementary expertise into a network will foster a translational approach, involving both basic and applied research, with the ultimate goal of rational improvement of industrially relevant protein expression systems for their use in biotechnological processes.
