I study the regulation of gene expression in filamentous fungi with the aim to understand native systems and design synthetic systems. Further, I am interested in the fungal secondary metabolism. I search for novel biosynthetic gene clusters and study them in the native hosts and by heterologous expression. A special focus lies on fungal RiPPs in this regard.
