معرفی
Hans-Ulrich Mösch is a Professor of Genetics in the Department of Biology at Philipps University of Marburg, where he leads the Molecular Genetics research group. He has served in various leadership roles including Dean of the Department of Biology (2017-2019) and Vice Dean (2016-2017). His research group investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying fungal development and pathogenesis, with a focus on cell adhesion, cell wall biogenesis, signal transduction, and transcriptional regulation.
His research interests span multiple areas of molecular genetics with emphasis on:
- Fungal cell wall structure and function
- Mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis
- Cell adhesion processes in microorganisms
- Signal transduction pathways in yeast
- Transcriptional regulation of developmental processes
Analysis of Professor Mösch's recent publications (2014-2022) reveals a consistent focus on the structural and functional aspects of fungal adhesins, particularly in Candida glabrata and other yeast species. His work combines structural biology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics approaches to understand how cell surface proteins mediate fungal adhesion, pathogenesis, and social behaviors. A significant portion of his research examines GPI-anchored proteins and their role in cell wall biogenesis.
His scientific contributions include:
- Structural characterization of fungal adhesins like Flo11
- Mechanistic insights into cell wall integrity sensors
- Understanding how fungi switch between unicellular and multicellular forms
- Elucidating transcriptional regulation of adhesion and development
Professor Mösch advises doctoral candidates including Jonas Andräs and offers numerous teaching courses in the Bachelor of Biology and Master of Molecular and Cellular Biology study programs. His laboratory, located in the Institute Building (K|05) at Karl-von-Frisch-Straße 8 in Marburg, comprises a research team including Dr. Stefan Brückner (Research Fellow) and other doctoral candidates.
