[Link] International Research on Bioengineering of the Mitochondrial Genome

Press Release No. 94/20269 September 2026

        Heidelberg molecular biologists Nora Vögtle and Michael Knop to participate in a consortium of the Advanced Research + Innovation Agency in the United Kingdom
  
        Novel genetic engineering approaches are to enable targeted interventions in the genome of mitochondria – that is the research goal of Prof. Dr. Nora Vögtle and Prof. Dr. Michael Knop, for which they are receiving funding from the Advanced Research + Innovation Agency (ARIA). The two scientists from the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University form one of 19 project teams that are working in the Precision Mitochondria Programme to develop a tool box for engineering mitochondrial genomes and will be testing new approaches.
