Dear all,

 

Since July 1^st I have started a tenure track group leader position at the University medical center (UKE) in Hamburg, with my lab located directly at the DESY campus. Funding is generously provided by the BMBF
program junior research groups in infection research https://www.gesundheitsforschung-bmbf.de/de/nachwuchsgruppen-in-der-infektionsforschung-12245.php.
The aim of my group is to understand the catalytic mechanisms of enzymes involved in antibiotic resistance via time-resolved crystallography.

 

We will be making ample use of our recently developed HARE and LAMA methods but also explore the foundations of protein function via multi-dimensional crystallography. Further pushing technology and method development
in the field I am also terribly excited about our most recent toy, the spitrobot – a
crystal-plunger that enables cryo-trapping with a time-resolution in the ms domain.

 

Candidates interested in PostDoc or PhD positions in time-resolved crystallography should reach out directly to me (ec.schulz@uke.de), exciting projects are ahead.
