Biography
Jochen Balbach has completed his PhD in Organic Chemistry at the University of Munich, Germany, before he moved to the University of Oxford, UK, and later University of Bayreuth, Germany, to develop NMR methods to follow protein folding reactions at molecular resolution. Since 2004, he is working as a Professor for Biophysics at the University of Halle, and interested in the Structural Biology of proteins mainly studied by NMR spectroscopy, the Biophysics of protein folding, and working on many systems including amyloid forming peptides and proteins, chaperones, GPCRs, ankyrin-repeat proteins, membrane shaping proteins, crystallins, and their post-translational modifications.
