BioQuant is Heidelberg University's interdisciplinary Research Center for Quantitative Analysis of Molecular and Cellular Systems. The center is regarded as a hub for research and teaching in quantitative biology. Work at BioQuant integrates quantitative experimentation, cutting-edge technology and computing to advance an integrative understanding of the complexity of the systems studied. Such "cross-boundary" research is timely and has become necessary for answering numerous questions in biological and medical systems. And it has been part of BioQuant's mission since its inception, and the environment at BioQuant fosters such activities on campus and beyond with unsurpassed opportunities.

AC/DC in the genome: How cells regulate inflammation
Inflammation is finely tuned and deregulated in chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. Using single-cell genomics and transcriptomics, the group of Karsten Rippe identified ~1,500 genes activated or inhibited during inflammation at different time points. They revealed two complementary regulatory systems, termed AC and DC modules, that finely tune the inflammatory response. Find out more in their   publication in Nature Cell Biology.
Malaria Parasites Move on Right-Handed Helices
Motion patterns help the transition between tissue compartments – explanation for asymmetry in the body plan of the pathogen.   Find out more in a new Nature Physics Publication from the groups of Ulrich Schwarz and Freddy Frischknecht.
