Profile

PhD Research Topic

The focus of my doctoral research is the ENaC channel, which plays a pivotal role in regulating sodium concentration within cells. My objective is to elucidate the structural characteristics of the channel in both its open and closed states. Additionally, I aim to gain insight into the gating mechanism of the channel.

Research Projects

CytoTransport - Mechanisms and Modulation of Cellular Transport Processes

The German Research Foundation funded research cluster "CytoTransport" combines expertise in biomedicine, computational modelling, structural biology, chemistry and materials science to investigate cellular transport mechanisms in health and disease. To this end, 9 working groups from two university research focuses are working together, represented by the two research institutes IFGA and TREE. An overarching goal is to bundle the institutes' overlapping interests and expertise in the long term.
