Curriculum Vitae


Research Interests

Serial crystallography and the dynamic nature of proteins


As a PI at LBR i am actively developing methods for time resolved serial crystallography at synchrotrons and free electron lasers. Bringing methods developed for free electron lasers to the synchrotron will dramatically widen the scope of time resolved, dynamic studies on protein molecules. Laser induced activation of conformational dynamics allows us to precisely trigger these dynamical processes. Precise triggers are the key to observe structural changes with atomic spatial precision and high temporal resolution by using time resolved serial crystallography. I am currently establishing a research program aiming to study targets that do not have intrinsic light switches.

As a scientist at LBR i am supporting serial crystallography activities at SLS as well as SwissFEL for all groups. I am the responsible scientist for the serial crystallography setup at SLS and am experienced in processing of serial crystallographic data.
