Dr. Thomas Kern

Postdoctoral research on protein and protein-RNA complexes involved in RNA processing (siRNA, splicing). Characterization of protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions and dynamics by NMR, SAXS and ITC. Specialized on NMR spectroscopy of "big" proteins and complexes, involving the determination of protein structures and dynamics.

PhD thesis in biophysics entitled: "Tackling challenging systems by biomolecular NMR spectroscopy: Molecular kinetics by fast NMR and bacterial cell wall by solid-state NMR". Emphasis on the development of new methods in the field of NMR spectroscopy.

Structural biology, NMR spectroscopy, protein interactions, protein dynamics, protein purification, bacterial cell wall, antibiotics.
