Structure and function of eukaryotic membrane proteins; two-dimensional crystallization; electron crystallography; electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM)
Eukaryotic membrane proteins comprise approximately 60% of all drug targets and are consequently immensely important for biomedical research. Despite their importance, only few could thus far be studied at the structural level. My research focuses on the crystallization, structure and function of eukaryotic membrane proteins.
