P: +49 341 9716 671@: [email protected]: www.izbi.uni-leipzig.de

Work / Research topics:

The IZBI focuses on evolution and genomic regulation in different systems and species, OMIC realms (e.g. genome, transcriptome, ‘epigenome’ etc) with the special focus on dysfunction caused by diseases. We develop and apply bioinformatics algorithms for molecular biology (e.g. primary analysis of Microarray and Next Generation Sequencing data analysis and downstream data mining tasks), perform theoretical modeling of biological processes (e.g. cell differentiation, organogenesis and gene regulation). Our projects deal with objectives ranging from civilization diseases and the effect of different environmental factors to molecular mechanisms of genomic regulation involving transcription factors, noncoding RNA and epigenetics. Our interests also focus on genomic and environmental factors shaping civilization diseases. Here we aim at contributing to personalized medicine (diagnosis and therapy) by portraying molecular „faces“ with individual resolution.

Cooperation proposals:

We offer analysis and mining methods for molecular high throughput data in the context of systems medicine. Cooperations might be directed to the exchange of data and methods from each side, joint analyses and/or modeling approaches related to our research focus and/or might involve the exchange of scientists and students.

Profile of the institute:

The IZBI is a central facility of the University Leipzig funded mainly by third party projects. It brings together different scientists with background in biology, computer science, biology, physics and biotechnology who pursue projects in Systems Biology, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology related to cell biology, evolution and medicine.

UNECE has been directing a major cross-sectoral umbrella project for enterprises in the biomass sector in the region. One of the central tasks of climate change mitigation is to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy such as biomass. The project aims to strengthen the local use of biomass for heat and electricity production as well as sustainable biomass supply from selected countries in the UNECE region to energy producers in the region.


The focus of our activities is on the development of Regional Biomass Action Plans (RBAP) in Russia. RBAPs coordinate the development of the regional biomass sector. Furthermore, the RBAP integrates the interests of the forestry and woodworking, agricultural, electricity and municipal heating, waste and recycling sectors. RBAPs differ per region (and in time), as do the availability of resources and the socio-economic characteristics of regions. At present, the project focuses on the modernisation of the Russian energy sector and on stimulating companies to introduce the production of innovative products with high added value. Through the development of RBAPs regional governments can develop a level playing field and governance that encourages companies to invest in the biomass sector. The cooperation between the government and private sector on the implementation of RBAPs can result in the development of branch organisations and cooperatives, and prevents excessive competition on resources and emerging markets.

Cooperation proposals:• UNECE welcomes cooperation in the development of RBAPs, in particular in the

following areas: Assisting regional governments with the development of RBAPs;• Improving cooperation between regional governments on the use of biomass;• Addressing regionally gained experience and results at the federal level, in order

to contribute to the development of legislation, regulation, and standardisation

Tomographic methodologies (CT, MR, PET, SPECT, PET-MR) rely on specific tracer substances for retrieving at best a partial information of the metabolism. In contrast, the full metabolic information is contained in the mass spectrum obtained by mass spectrometry (MS) experiments. However, the classical MS spectrum obtained from a single tissue sample allows no spatial discrimination. To go beyond these limits a new strategic concept aims at the development of a 3D MALDI-MS technology. MR spectroscopy (MRS) as well as MALDI imaging as a mass spectrometry (MS) imaging technique are imaging modalities, which involve the characterization of tissue in terms of the molecular species. The combination of both imaging techniques may lead to superior results for diagnosis and understanding of pathologies in the human body.


The range of SCiLS’ services is to perform MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry measurements and statistical analysis of MALDI-imaging data. For external data analysis the software SCiLS Lab is offered, a software suit for visualization and data mining of MALDI-Imaging data.A pipeline for acquisition and analysis of 3D MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (3D MALDI-IMS) is established at the Analytical Services (AS) section of SCiLS.SCiLS provides software (SCiLS Lab) for creation and visualization of 3D MALDI-IMS data, adapts data format, develops and implements statistical methods. SCiLS has great interest in joined cooperation‘s to develop new tools for Healthcare Research.

Nonstationary spectrometers of the THz range and employs them for various applications and investigations. The advantages of the devices include high sensitivity, high spectral resolution, online measurements and easy-to-use configuration. To provide above characteristics we also design and elaborate suitable radiation sources and receivers.

Generation of THz radiation with using the subTHz synthesizers based on e.g. backward wave oscillator (BWO) (OV-76, 118-178 GHz) or gunn generator (97.5-117.0 GHz) with phase-lock loop (PLL) of reference generator and frequency multipliers on nanostructures – quantum semiconductor superlattices (QSS). The application of harmonic mixers based on QSS allows essentially simplifying a THz synthesizer’s scheme and improving reliability and stability of the BWO operation in synchronization mode for all generation range (up to 1.25 THz).

The subTHz spectrometer based on the phase-switching of the BWO’s radiation on the gas and also time-domain and the spectrometer of 1-2.5 THz frequency range (with registration of a signal in time area) based on solid-state radiation sources were developed and realized.
