- Cellular Membrane Systems such as the Golgi apparatus, nanotubes and autophagosomes (Ellinger),
- the roles of the Secretory Pathway in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis (Schmidt, K.),
- the biology of Trophoblast Stem Cells (Latos),
- the effects of Chromatin Modifications on the Homeostasis of the Epidermis (Seiser),
- the Identification of Novel Mutations in familial autosomal recessive and dominant Orphan Diseases (Lucas), and
