Welcome to the NTase Lab at TUM!

Research Focus

We study how our immune system and its receptors distinguish between self and non-self, focusing on Nucleotidyltransferases (NTases). Several uncharacterized human NTases and their products remain to be discovered, despite their importance in biological processes ranging from immunity to development. Our group aims to reveal the molecular function of these NTases and to discover novel nucleotide-based second messengers using single particle cryo-electron microscopy as our core technique.
