SFI UREKA Site in Molecular Recognition
Translating Design into Application
Dr. Heinz-Peter Nasheuer, Dept. of Biochemistry
Dr. Nasheuer's research interests include the host specificity of viral DNA replication, mechanisms of cell cycle control, DNA replication, and DNA damage signalling
.
More specifically, he is interested in the initiation of DNA replication
,
and the role of posttranslational modifications and protein-protein interactions in the regulation of DNA replication and DNA repair.
Dr. Nasheuer's research group has access to temperature-controlled rooms, centrifuges (high speed and ultracentrifugation), HPLC/FPLC, an ionizing radiation source, and various image documentation systems (including a phosphor/ fluorescence imager (Fuji FLA-5100)). In addition, suites are available for tissue culture and radioactive work. The group has access to flow cytometry and several fluorescence microscopes including an Olympus IX51 equipped with image software Cell
R, Olympus IX71a with image software SoftWoRx Resolve 3D, and a Zeiss LSM 510 confocal laser scanning microscope system with LSM 5 Image Browser software.
