Profile
Michael studied biomedical sciences and biochemistry in the University of Reutlingen and Tuebingen, before joining the group of Christian Roth at the Max-Planck Institute of colloids and Interfaces for his PhD. Here he focused on the functional and structural characterisation of glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides using automated peptide synthesis, x-ray crystallography and biophysical methods.
In 2024, he was awarded his Doctorate in Biochemistry from the Free University of Berlin for this work. He joined the CeTPD in the same year.
In his free time, when he isn’t stuck in front of a good book, he enjoys cooking and the occasional hike.
