Welcome!
...to the Molecular Phytopathology Department!
Our group belongs to the Joseph Kölreuter Institute for Plant Sciences. We are located at the South Campus of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in the Building 30.43, 2nd. Floor. We share the infrastructure and are scientifically related with two Departments (Microbiology and Genetics) from the Institute for Applied Biosciences (IAB). The research focus of our group is the molecular understanding of the interaction between plants and microorganisms, particularly fungi.
