Prof. Dr. Torsten Ochsenreiter

The Ochsenreiter Lab is working in the field of molecular biology, using the single-celled parasite model system Trypanosoma brucei to uncover the principles that govern mitochondrial biogenesis, including organelle fusion and fission, mitochondrial genome replication, segregation, as well as mitochondrial gene expression.
