Toni Träger

Toni Träger is an Assistant Professor in the work group led by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Panagiotis Kastritis at the Institute of Pharmacy, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. His research focuses on structural and computational analyses of metabolic complexes, particularly disordered regions in 2-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes. He employs cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) combined with computational tools like molecular dynamics simulations, protein docking (HADDOCK), and AlphaFold structure prediction.

Education: M.Sc. in Biochemistry from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, where he studied ATP-citrate lyase via cryo-EM. Current PhD work explores catalytic mechanisms in large metabolic complexes through structural biology and computational approaches.

Research emphasizes understanding protein dynamics and functional regulation in metabolic pathways, bridging experimental and computational methodologies. No awards listed in provided materials. Affiliated with the Charles Tanford Protein Center.
