Carla Schmidt

Carla Schmidt is Junior Professor at the interdisciplinary research centre ZIK HALOmem at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Her research focuses on the transient conformations of intrinsically disordered proteins, particularly synaptobrevin-2, and the factors controlling disorder-to-order transitions. She integrates cross-linking mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and ion mobility-mass spectrometry with molecular dynamics simulations to study protein structural dynamics.

Her research examines how environmental conditions influence protein folding pathways and biomolecular interactions relevant to neurological functions. Current projects investigate pressure effects on protein oligomerization and conformational stability.
