Our research group focuses on the investigation of the synthesis and function of lipids in plants and (photosynthetic) bacteria and their qualitative and quantitative determination using state-of-the-art methods.

The IMBIO Institute (Prof. Dr. Dörmann) provides a lipid analytical platform for the campus of the University of Bonn. We quantitatively measure a variety of lipids using state-of-the-art analytical equipment, including fluorescence HPLC, gas chromatography (GC), GC-MS and Q-TOF (Quadrupole Time of Flight) mass spectrometry.
