معرفی
Oliver Daumke is a Professor at the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry, College of Biology, Chemistry, and Pharmacy, Free University of Berlin, and leads his research group at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC). His work focuses on structural biology, biochemistry, and cell biology, particularly the molecular machines that deform cellular membranes and the mechanisms underlying membrane trafficking, mitochondrial dynamics, and disease-related protein dysfunction.
- Structural biology of GTPases and ATPases
- Membrane remodeling mechanisms
- Neurodegenerative and muscular disease research
The recent articles from Daumke’s group highlight mitochondrial inner membrane shaping, synthetic membrane transfer techniques, caveolar stabilization models, and synaptic vesicle architecture. His research contributes to understanding how defects in molecular machines lead to diseases like muscular dystrophy and Alzheimer’s, with potential applications in therapeutic development.
His laboratory at MDC (Building 31.2, Room 0225) includes postdocs, PhD students, technical assistants, and collaborators. The team combines structural approaches with biochemical and cell-based experiments to dissect these systems.
