  • Carsten C. Mahrenholz
  • Molecular Libraries and Recognition Group
  • Charité Medical School

I work in the Institute of Medical Immunology at Charité Medical School. I've joined because Hopefully I can find some people to share information about my phd-topics (coiled-coils and SPOT-synthesis) and add some related methodical and input value.

Education

  • since 2005, PhD student (Boichemistry)
             Institute of Medical Immunology, Charité Medical School, Berlin
  • 2001-2005, Dipl. Biol. (Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Immunology)
             Humboldt University, Berlin and Gutenberg University, Mainz
  • 2006-2008, MBA (General Management - Dual Award)
             Berlin School of Economics and Ashcroft International Business School, Cambridge

Research interests

  1. Coiled-Coil interaction, stoichometry and peptide design (We use biochemical high-throughput(SPOT- and Peptide-Synthesis) methods, biophysics (ITC, AUZ, Biacore) and informatics (SVM) to define the rules of association on the amino-acid level.)
  2. association landscapes for coiled-coil protein interaction
  3. evolution theory
