Analysis of Natural Products in Complex Biosystems - Multimodal Photonic-Based Investigations, Metabolomics and MALDI-Imaging (Z02)

• Subject Area: Biochemistry
• Term: since 2014
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 239748522

Multimodal photonic and spectroscopic imaging approaches as well as MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry are developed for specialized applications and offered to the consortium to enable the localization of chemical mediators within or around producers or within complex communities. In addition, a metabolomics platform is offered to obtain information about the regulation of metabolic processes in interactions. The central role of this project within the CRC is to provide all CRC members access to a broad variety of spectroscopic, photonic and MS-based approaches to investigate chemical mediators.
