Gabriele Fischer von Mollard

Prof. Dr. Gabriele Fischer von Mollard is a leading researcher at Bielefeld University's Faculty of Chemistry, holding the Biochemistry III professorship since 2005. She previously held positions at Ruhr University Bochum (2004) and University of Göttingen (1998-2004) where she led a junior research group funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.

• University studies in Biochemistry at Tübingen, Munich, and Berlin
• Diploma (1989) and PhD (1992) from Free University of Berlin
• Habilitation (2002) at University of Göttingen

Her research focuses on membrane transport mechanisms, particularly the molecular roles of SNARE proteins in yeast and mammalian cells. Current projects include:

• Investigating NDRG3-GOSR2 interactions in ER-Golgi transport
• Characterizing SNARE protein deficiencies (vti1a/b) in neuronal development
• Engineering fungal L-amino acid oxidases for biocatalytic applications

Recent publications highlight both fundamental discoveries in vesicular transport (15+ articles 2021-2025) and applied biocatalysis projects involving enzyme immobilization technologies. Her work bridges basic science with industrial applications through collaborations in enzyme engineering and protein production systems.
