Markus Meier

Markus Meier is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany, actively contributing to the Erb research group's work on membrane protein engineering.

His research centers on harnessing membrane proteins for applications outside biological systems, with specialized focus on neo-functionalizing synthetic membranes through innovative combinations of cell-free expression systems and native biogenesis pathways. This interdisciplinary work bridges biochemical engineering and synthetic biology to develop novel membrane functionalities.

Within the Erb group, Markus participates in advancing foundational techniques for membrane protein manipulation, contributing to the institute's broader mission in microbial biochemistry and biotechnology.
