Works on mimicking cellular processes: New MPI-CBG Research Group Leader Dora Tang
The MPI-CBG welcomes a new research group leader: Dora Tang launched her research group at the Institute as part of the MaxSynBio network of the Max Planck Society in March.
Dora's research focuses on mimicking cellular processes using in-vitro minimal systems. In particular, her group uses a molecular understanding of interactions between polymers, lipids, peptides, nucleotides, and proteins to design and construct novel dynamic protocells using bottom up approaches. These model systems allow her to question the current understanding of biology whilst developing new technologies for synthetic biology applications.
Before starting at the MPI-CBG, Dora did postdoctoral work at the Centre for Protolife Research and at the BriSynBio at the University of Bristol, UK.
