Biography
Cordula Enenkel was born in Stuttgart, Germany. Since her PhD in Dieter H. Wolf’s laboratory at the University of Stuttgart she has been fascinated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. She joined Günter Blobel’s laboratory as a post-doc at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute of the Rockefeller University in New York, where she investigated nuclear transport in yeast. In 1997 she moved to Berlin, Germany, and worked as a group leader and lecturer in the Institute of Biochemistry of the Humboldt University / Charité headed by Peter-Michael Kloetzel. In Berlin she discovered the nuclear import pathway of proteasomes and quality control pathways of proteasome assembly. In 2002 she became Privatdozent (Habilitation) in Biochemistry. In 2011 she moved her laboratory to Toronto. Acknowledgements: C.E. was supported by the Landesgraduierten-Förderung Baden-Württemberg, Thyssen Stiftung and German Research Foundation (DFG).
