What NMR can tell us about metabolic responses and suboptimal protein interactions

You are warmly invited to attend the BRCB Friday afternoon seminar.

Speaker: Anders Malmendal, Department of Science and Environment Chemistry, Roskilde University

Talk overview

My specialty is to find simple patterns to help us understand complex biological systems. My most important tools are NMR spectroscopy, which provides information on almost every atom in a molecule or a mixture of molecules, and multivariate analysis, which is needed to make sense of this complex information.

I have a unique combination of experiences with different types of biological NMR and other measurements: Biophysical chemistryand structural biology, including structural and dynamic characterization of proteins and their interactions. A special interest is to use NMR and other biophysical methods to understand protein aggregation, in order to get increased understanding of neurodegenerative disorders. Metabolomics, a method to characterize the complex (bio-) chemical trajectory of any biological or other process. Special interests here areDrosophilamodels for genetic and environmental factors and for human disease and metabolite responses for process control in biotechnology. I am very interested in how NMR metabolomics can be used now and in the future.

We look forward to seeing you there!
