Felicitas Pfeifer

Prof. Dr. Felicitas Pfeifer is a faculty member at the Technical University of Darmstadt in the Department of Microbiology and Archaea. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of gas vesicle formation in halophilic archaea and the regulation of gene expression in these organisms.

Her work spans several subfields, including molecular biology, biochemistry, and synthetic biology. She utilizes techniques such as split-GFP assays and pulldown experiments to investigate protein interactions in Haloarchaea.

Prof. Pfeifer employs synthetic riboswitches to control translation in archaeal systems, contributing to advancements in gene regulation studies. She is contactable via her institutional email pfeifer@bio.tu-darmstadt.de.
