Biography

Jörg Nickelsen's research focuses on the molecular evolution of eukaryotic plant and algal cells, particularly the development of chloroplasts from free-living cyanobacteria. He studies the integration of endosymbionts at a cellular level, emphasizing the establishment of intracellular communication systems consisting of nuclear-encoded regulatory factors. These factors control plastid gene expression, especially at the post-transcriptional level leading to the assembly of functional multiprotein complexes. Understanding this regulatory network and its evolution forms a central aspect of his research endeavors.
