Simon Scheuring

Simon Scheuring is a Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, leading the Scheuring Lab (Bio-AFM-Lab). His research focuses on membrane proteins and their dynamics using atomic force microscopy (AFM), particularly high-speed AFM techniques. He holds a PhD and BS from the Biozentrum, University Basel, Switzerland (2001 and 1996 respectively).

Education:

• PhD, Biozentrum, University Basel, Switzerland (2001)
• BS, Biozentrum, University Basel, Switzerland (1996)

Research Interests: Development and application of AFM-based technologies to study membrane structure, dynamics, and interactions. Key biological areas include membrane proteins (channels, transporters, receptors), diffusion, and supramolecular assembly. Technical expertise spans high-resolution AFM, force spectroscopy, and cryo-EM integration.

Labs/Teams: Directs the Bio-AFM-Lab at Weill Cornell Medicine, specializing in nanoscale biological imaging. Research addresses membrane phenomena with applications in microbiology and neuroscience.
