Team:TU-Munich/Team/Attributions

The research group at the [http://biologische-chemie.userweb.mwn.de/index.html Chair of Biological Chemistry] at TUM works in the biochemical field of protein engineering and design with its objectives set on the construction of artifical proteins with novel functions through rational as well as deductive research approaches. In this context, a range of methods facilitating the functional and structural analysis of native proteins was developed over the last years, with an increasing role of protein crystallography.

Laboratory of Prof. Dr. Helmreich

[http://www.sww.bv.tum.de Sanitary Environmental Engineering] is a horizontal discipline comprised of civil engineering, process engineering and chemistry/biology. Research and teaching include the fields of water suppy, sewage and rain water treatment, water quality and the modelling of aquatic systems. The complex scope demands fundamental as well as practical oriented research. The interdisciplinary team composition at the chair, consisting of engineers as well as natural scientists, works on the current topics of biofilm systems, dynamic simulation, process control and optimization of industrial processes, modeling of water quality, development of novel innovative industrial cleaning systems, development of holistic approaches on entire urban regions, fundamental research in the analysis of genetic information and transport and reaction mechanisms in microbial systems, rainwater, anaerobic technology and energy production.
