García-Alai, M.

García-Alai, M. is a researcher at the University of Hamburg's Medical Faculty, Department of Biochemistry. Affiliated with the Center for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB), their work bridges DESY, EMBL, and University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) collaborations.

Research focuses on structural biology and biophysics, particularly protein dynamics and interactions. Key areas include development of analytical tools for biophysical techniques like circular dichroism and dynamic light scattering, investigation of protein complexes involved in cellular processes, and structural analysis of viral proteins for therapeutic applications.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in cryo-EM grid preparation, clathrin-mediated endocytosis mechanisms, and SARS-CoV-2 protease research. The work spans methodological development, fundamental protein science, and translational applications in drug discovery.

García-Alai's collaborative approach is evident through co-authorship with researchers from multiple institutions across Europe, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern structural biology research.
