"Physiology" we define by a central question: "How does it work?" For answering this question we apply several methods including molecular biology, electrophysiology, microbiology, biophysics, laser-scanning microscopy, and freeze-fracture electron microscopy We investigate all levels of the organism: molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and the whole body Our approach is translational as it combines basic research with topics related to diseases of the intestines, kidneys, nerves, and skin Main research topics are the tight junction and membrane channel molecules of the "intelligent borders of the body", the epithelia We perform numerous collaborative projects with colleagues from clinical departments Clinical Physiology / Nutritional Medicine is a unit within the Dept. of Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, and Infectious Diseases, located on the Campus Benjamin Franklin |
