Small atoms, big effects - lessons learned from ion transport in chloroplasts
About Prof. Kunz research:
Our research focuses on plant chloroplasts, particularly on transport processes within this organelle. The focus is on ion transport proteins—we investigate their substrates and their molecular functioning. We are also interested in questions concerning organelle development, signal transduction during stress, and photosynthesis. A single chloroplast contains about 2,000 proteins, many of which have hardly been characterized to date. To elucidate their function more quickly, we are developing new molecular tools with the help of synthetic DNA.

The LSM Lecture Series is a recurring academic event where LSM faculty members and occasional external speakers share their latest research with LSM students to explore diverse ideas, spark curiosity, and foster dialogue across the LSM community.
The event is open to all members of the university community!
