Bio1 - Research projects

The scope of this expert panel includes fundamental biological research, which focuses on research methodologies and/or by content on biological aspects from macromolecules to cellular level. The aim of the research is the fundamental knowledge of biological processes without immediate application goals (such as medical, biomedical, agricultural and biotechnological).

In particular, the following topics are covered (not exhaustive):

Research at the molecular level of the structure, function and turnover of biological macromolecules and metabolites.

Research at the (sub)cellular level of biological phenomena.

Research on methods and techniques at molecular-biological level.

Computational biology for the processing, storage, visualisation and modelling of molecular biological data, bioinformatics, -omics technology and system-wide approaches.

Examples of disciplines (not exhaustive):

(molecular level)

• Biochemistry
• Biomolecules
• Biophysics (biological aspects and application of physics)
• Molecular genetics
