Research by the Department of Molecular Cell Biology covers several areas of molecular cell biology. A strong focus is on protein modification by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins, DNA repair, genome maintenance, and nuclear organization.

STEFAN JENTSCH's  group is studying the function of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins, as well as DNA repair, recombination, and chromatin behavior. STEFAN MÜLLER's group is analyzing the function of the mammalian ubiquitin-like modifier SUMO, and ZUZANA STORCHOVA's group is studying genome stability.
