WG Brosch

The main research focus of the lab lies on elucidating the functional impact of histone/protein arginine methylation on fungal physiology. We are interested in studying to what extent histone modifying activities are involved in fungal pathogenicity as well as to investigate their role in the regulation of secondary metabolite production. The elucidation of PRMT- and HDAC regulated bioactive molecules of Aspergillus is another issue.
