Expertise

The CIGR brings together a diverse range of unique expertise in genome research rooted in biology, chemistry and physics. Members of the CIGR investigate genome folding and genome transactions. An important aspect is direct as well as long term relevance for medicine. The available expertise extends across length scales facilitating an understanding of structure-function relationships at both the molecular and the cellular level. This naturally combines approaches from biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, structural biology and genetics.
