Norddeutsches Zentrum für Mikrobielle Genomforschung

Overview

Microbial genome research has been one of the most rapidly evolving fields in molecular life sciences with enormous social and economical impact e.g. in the fields of health care, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.

Modern techniques in microbial genome research require cost-intensive state-of-the-art equipment as well as highly-educated personnel. Within the Norddeutsches Zentrum für Mikrobielle Genomforschung (NZMG) six well-established research institutions from Northern Germany join their research infrastructure and know-how. Therefore, the NZMG provides all of the tools of modern functional genomics and proteomics combined with in-depth bioinformatics and systems biology analysis for scientific co-operations in Northern Germany and beyond.
