Tilman Schirmer is a structural biologist and Professor at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel.
Life
Tilman Schirmer studied physics at the
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. In 1989, Tilman Schirmer joined the Biozentrum, University of Basel, initially as a group leader and was appointed as Associate Professor of Structural Biology in 1997. He reached emeritus status in 2020.[2]
Work
Tilman Schirmer investigates the mechanism of action of bacterial proteins based on their spatial structures, which are determined using
molecules through the porins of the outer membrane
.
As of 2013, Tilman Schirmer’s research group[3] at the Biozentrum in Basel is studying the mechanisms of signal transduction of the messenger substrate cyclic di-GMP and the structure-function relationships of bacterial effector proteins with AMP-transferase activity. The goal is the elucidation of fundamental biological interrelationships on the molecular level.[1]
Awards and honors
- 1986 Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society
- 1988 Long-Term Fellowship of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
