Topics/Research and Teaching Profile
Prof. Dr Richard Börner holds the Chair of Biophotonics/Physical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering Sciences at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences and heads the Biophotonics Research Group at the University’s Laser Institute. The research group combines optical technologies, laser measurement techniques and molecular biophysics, with a focus on fluorescence microscopy and single-molecule FRET for the investigation of biomolecular structures and dynamics, particularly those of RNA.
A key feature of the group’s work is the combination of experimental single-molecule spectroscopy, instrument development and computer-aided or AI-supported data analysis. To this end, the research group develops and utilises its own measurement and analysis concepts, such as for flexible laser excitation, automated fluorescence experiments and integrative structural modelling. In doing so, the group combines fundamental biophysics with application-oriented Biophotonics, instrument development and transfer potential for the life sciences and biophotonic measurement technology.
