Arbeitsgruppe Prof. Dr. Beck
Die AG Beck arbeitet auf dem Gebiet der proteinbasierten Nanomaterialien. Wir verwenden Proteincontainer, um anorganische Nanopartikel zu hochstrukturierten Materialien zu assemblieren. Dabei kommen verschiedene Techniken zum Einsatz: Proteindesign mit Hilfe von computergestützten Methoden, Proteinproduktion und -aufreinigung, Synthese von Nanopartikeln und Assemblierung von Nanopartikeln mit Kristallisationsmethoden. Die Charakterisierung der Materialien erfolgt durch Röntgenkristallographie, Elektronenmikroskopie und Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung (SAXS).
Wir sind auf der Suche nach motivierten Studierenden, die sich unserer Gruppe anschließen möchten. Bitte wenden Sie sich an Tobias Beck(tobias.beck"AT"chemie.uni-hamburg.de), um weitere Informationen zu Promotions-, Master- und Bachelor-Projekten oder Forschungspraktika zu erhalten.
