Lab Experience

Basic methods of protein biochemistry and molecular biology

Projects / Research

Last year the focus of my interest was on cytochrome cd1, a bacterial respiratory enzyme that catalyses the reduction of nitrite, oxygen and hydroxylamine. Using a kinetic approach it could be demonstrated that the enzyme can be activated by reduction

SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in a broad range of topics in biochemistry and molecular biology and hope that participation in this programme will help me select a field for my PhD thesis.
