1 Integrated Research Training Group Erlangen School of Molecular Communication Fast Track 2014 Directly from Bachelor to PhD

2 Erlangen School of Molecular Communication is part of the SFB 796 Science: Research within the SFB 796 aims to investigate the dynamic interplay between microbial effectors (viruses and bacteria) and their host cells. This is achieved by examining both the intrinsic response of plant and mammalian cells and the microbial host cell manipulation at the molecular and cellular level. This research raises the question of whether similar structures and mechanisms have developed in the heterogenic host/pathogen interactions during evolution. More information about the SFB 796 and the Graduate School IRTG 796:

3 Scientific topics of the SFB 796 Part B Reprogramming cellular processes Part A Structural basis of molecular interaction scientific exchange interdisciplinary work joint training of PhD students Part C Replication structures and transport processes
