Prof. Dr. Manfred Schmitt

The Schmitt research group focuses on cell biological basics and biomedical applications of microbial toxins and chimeric toxinfusion. 

The following research areas are of particular interest:

• Structure, processing, mode of action and possible applications of protein toxins
• Heterologous expression and secretion of medically/pharmaceutically relevant proteins in yeasts
• Recombinant virus particles and yeasts for use as live vaccines and antigen carriers
