The German Research Foundation funded research cluster "CytoTransport" combines expertise in biomedicine, computational modelling, structural biology, chemistry and materials science to investigate cellular transport mechanisms in health and disease. To this end, 9 working groups from two university research focuses are working together, represented by the two research institutes IFGA and TREE. An overarching goal is to bundle the institutes' overlapping interests and expertise in the long term.

Bio-chemical research is increasingly dependent on accurate computer modelling and analysis. This field of research is by its very nature highly interdisciplinary, as basic physical laws must be implemented algorithmically in order to make relevant contributions in life science applications. The project and the associated initiative UMMBAS bundles the strong cross-disciplinary expertise at the H-BRS in method development, visualisation and the application of computer-based procedures for deciphering material science and biochemical issues.
