Prof. Karl-Josef DIETZ
Bielefeld University
Since 1997 the chair of Plant Biochemistry and Physiology is held by Prof. Karl-Josef Dietz, following Prof. Wolfgang Kowallik. The Dietz lab is a member of the Faculty of Biology and is integrated into the CeBiTec (Center for Biotechnology) at Bielefeld University as part of the Institute for Genome Research and Systems Biology (IGS).
Using up-to-date methods of proteomics, transcriptomics incl. translatome analysis, dynamic cell imaging, molecular biology and recombinant protein analyses, we aim to decipher the molecular and physiological mechanisms of damage development and efficient stress acclimation. To this end, we investigate e.g. high light acclimation, salinity and heat stress in Arabidopsis, sugar beet and rice, and pharmacological impact in plant and human cell models.
