RS studies  various aspects of oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria. A long term interest is the mechanistic insight into the biogenesis and photoprotection of photosynthetic apparatus and the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway. The group of RS utilizes a broad spectrum of methods, from genetics and biochemistry to various omics techniques, in silico calculations or structural methods. The favorite organism is the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803. For more details see the group webpage.
