Center for Dynamic Molecular Interactions (DynaMo) - 19.12.2011

This newly appointed Center of Excellence financed by the Danish National Research Foundation. The Center is located at Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen.

 

Professor Barbara Ann Halkier is the head of the center:  

 

"The aim of the center is to gain basic knowledge on dynamic molecular interactions that result in assembly of supramolecular complexes of DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolites facilitating a diversity of biological tasks in multi-cellular organisms. We will use the glucosinolate defense compounds within the plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a unique model system. Ultimately, this will enable us to higher order of structure in biology that enables multicellular organism to function, and to sense and respond to the environment."
