معرفی
Prof. Dr. Jörg Stülke is a full Professor of Microbiology and Head of the Department of General Microbiology at the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, University of Göttingen. He has held this position since 2003 and leads an active research group focused on bacterial metabolism and gene regulation.
His research spans two major model systems: the pathogenic bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae and the well-studied Bacillus subtilis. His group employs systems-level approaches including transcriptomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics to understand metabolic regulation and gene expression. Key interests include protein phosphorylation, RNA-mediated regulation, mRNA processing, and the role of second messengers such as cyclic di-AMP in bacterial physiology and pathogenicity.
The recent publications reveal a strong trend in molecular microbiology, functional genomics, and systems biology. His work often integrates experimental and computational methods, particularly evident in the development and maintenance of the SubtiWiki database for B. subtilis. The research bridges fundamental mechanisms of life with applications in understanding bacterial virulence and cellular homeostasis.
He is affiliated with several graduate programs under the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB), including:
- Molecular Biology (IMPRS)
- Biomolecules: Structure - Function - Dynamics (GZMB)
- Molecular Biology of Cells (GZMB)
- Microbiology and Biochemistry
- Genome Science (IMPRS)
While no individual students are listed, he clearly supervises doctoral candidates through these programs. His group has secured significant research output, including publications in Science, Nucleic Acids Research, and PLOS Pathogens, indicating successful grant funding and collaborative research. The lab maintains a dedicated website at http://genmibio.uni-goettingen.de/, which serves as a hub for research activities and resources like SubtiWiki.
