My research interests reach from some of the smallest entities of life (DNA, RNA, Proteins) to the largest (populations, ecosystems). I am fascinated by the possibilities of using transcriptomics and proteomics methodologies in ecological research and to work interdisciplinary by combining these technologies and approaches into a coherent framework. In one of my projects I investigate the proteomic responses of spring-dwelling organisms to a rise in ambient temperatures using an in-house generated transcriptome-database. How do organisms on the molecular level and a population on the geographic level react to a changing environment (e.g. climate change)? To try to answer these questions, I apply experimental ecology, molecular biology and bioinformatics to ecologically important non-model organisms.
