Robert Henning

Robert Henning is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago. His work focuses on structural biology and biophysics, particularly using time-resolved X-ray techniques to study protein and DNA dynamics.

• Research Interests: Structural dynamics of proteins/DNA, time-resolved X-ray diffraction, biophysics, and X-ray scattering methods.
• Recent Trends: Analysis of protein conformational changes (2024-2025), metalloenzyme mechanisms (2024), DNA folding (2024), and spin crossover materials (2024).
• Collaborations: Worked with Vukica Šrajer, Rama Ranganathan, and others on synchrotron-based structural studies.
• Labs/Teams: Affiliated with BioCARS, a synchrotron facility for time-resolved macromolecular studies.
