The Z04 project was merged with the project Z02, Proteomics and the Metabolomics/Lipidomics facility to form the central project Bioanalytical platform Z02
Abstract
Mitochondrial bioenergetics is of central importance in diverse cellular actions involved in cellular homeostasis and stress responses. However, the complexity and dynamics of mitochondrial energy metabolism represent a great challenge for the integrative understanding of how mitochondria interfere with cellular functions. Therefore, the Z04 project intends to build up a much-needed Bioenergetic facility that should fulfill the need for in-depth analysis of metabolic processes in cells.
