Keywords: 
protein, structure, tools
Course Description: 

The course introduces the generation and analysis of protein structures. It offers an overview of both experimental and computational approaches, including structure prediction methods. Beyond theory, the course focuses on practical guidance for designing, starting, and evaluating protein structure projects. Students will learn how to obtain and interpret structural models, assess their reliability, and integrate structural information into biological or biochemical research.

Course aims: 
  • experimental methods for protein structure determination
  • computational methods for obtaining structural models
  • practical competences through hands-on exercises
Teaching methods: 

lectures, group discussions, practical exercises, case studies

This course fits doctoral candidates in the following phase: 

☒ Beginn der Promotion / Beginning of the doctorate
☒ Während der Promotion / During the doctorate
☒ Endphase der Promotion / End of the doctorate

I am a senior researcher in biotechnology specializing in biocatalysis, structural biology, and chemical biology. My research focuses on enzymes from secondary metabolism and their applications in green chemistry. I have extensive experience leading multiple research projects and mentoring a large group of undergraduate and graduate students, guiding them through experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication.
