معرفی
Gerhard Thiel is a Professor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, leading the Plant Membrane Biophysics research group. His work focuses on potassium ion channels (K⁺ channels) across biological systems, from viral proteins to organelle membranes.
- Current research explores structural diversity in viral K⁺ channels as models for universal pore architecture.
- Investigates stochastic gating mechanisms in ion channels and their functional modulation.
- Develops engineered K⁺ channels with novel properties (e.g., light/ligand-gated variants).
- Studies the envelope protein E of SARS-CoV-2 as a potential drug target.
He is a member of the noMAGIC consortium, advancing remotely controlled ion channels for non-invasive physiological studies.
