Our research is aimed to understand molecular mechanisms which are involved in assembly, function, maintenance and regulation of the photosynthetic machinery in oxygenic chloroplast photosynthesis. For this purpose, we are using the green alga Chamydomonas reinhardtii as a model system and combibing molecular techniques like reverse genetic and proteomics to elucidate these processes.
