Education
She studied chemistry at the University of Oxford - continued her doctoral work in the laboratory of Anthony Watts - held subsequent research positions as an EMBO-Fellow with Hartmut Oschkinat at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and as a Liebig-Fellow with Felix Wieland at the University of Heidelberg - became Associate Professor at the University of Jena - until she moved her group in 2002 to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.[2]
Research
Her research focuses on the structural and functional analysis of biomembranes by solid state NMR.[3] The main systems of interest are:
- Mechanisms of membrane-active peptides with antimicrobial, cell-penetrating, fusogenic, or cytotoxic functions
- Helix-helix interactions of transmembrane segments from signalling receptors, ion channels, and protein translocation systems
- Self-assembly of amyloidogenic peptides and "charge-zipper" proteins in membranes
Personal
Ulrich comes from a family with strong scientific background.
