Scientific projects at the Thünen Institute

Since 2021: Head of the Junior Research Group "Genetic Technologies"

2018-2021: Project Scientist in "aProPop" (Development of a DNA-free genome editing system in poplar by transient Cas9/gRNA plasmid and ribonucleinprotein transfer into protoplasts and germinating pollen)

2012-2017: Project Scientist at the Thünen Institute of Forest Genetics in the project "PopMass" (Development and use of novel gene technologies to increase biomass yield in the woody perennial Populus spec.)

The Junior Research Group is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) via Fachagentur für Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR).

All other projects were funded by the Federal Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Science Communication

Dr. Tobias Brügmann is involved in the BMBF-funded project "erforschtCRISPR" and present here topics of molecular biology, biotechnology and forest genetics.
