Current team

Muhammad Ali  

PhD student 2015-20. Postdoc 2021-

Ali is the master cloner of the lab and the maker of libraries. With a PhD in Biochemistry he is still cell biologist at heart. His current projects are focused on on investigating the ligand binding of PDZ domains and FERM domains.

Susanne Lüchow  

PhD student, March 2017 –

Susanne’s research is focused on the binding plasticity of PDZ domains, which are domains involved in protein-protein interactions and play a key role in signal transduction.

Caroline Benz   

PhD student, October 2017 –

Caroline is a master of phage display and has by far done most selections in the lab. Her research is focused on mapping the motif-based interactions of the human proteome as well as host-pathogen protein-protein interactions.

Eszter Kassa

PhD student. Nov 2017 –

Eszter is our analytical chemist. She is an expert in peptide pulldowns in all variants and her favorit analysis technique is mass spectrometry.

Johanna Kliche

PhD student, February 2019 –

Johanna’s research is centered around how motif-based interactions are regulated by post-translational modifications. She is a true protein biochemist with a touch of cell biology.

Maximilian Vieler 

PhD student, August 2020 –

Max is interested in  profiling of the E3 ligase specificities and the identification of functional degrons. His project is part of the Marie Curie ITN UBIMOTIF (https://ubimotif.ku.dk/).

Aimiliani Konstantinou

PhD student, September 2020 –

Emily’s project is focused on on explore the substrate recognition landscape of deubiquitinases. Her project is part of the Marie Curie ITN UBIMOTIF (https://ubimotif.ku.dk/).

Dr. Leandro Simonetti  

Bioinformatician, December 2017 –

Leandro is the maker and keeper of our bioinformatic pipeline for NGS data analysis. He is also thinking about how to best find motifs in large datasets.

Dr. Ahmed Sayadi

Bioinformatician, August 2019-

Ahmed is a bioinformatics analyst with strong interest in analyzing NGS data, ranging from genome/transcriptome/mitochondria assembly, gene expression, SNPs analysis, sequence analysis, PPI analysis, motif-prediction, to function annotation.

Filip Mihalic 

PhD student Jemth lab, IMBIM, UU, 2018 – Filip is a our honory member. His main interest in host-pathogen protein-protein interactions.

Alicia Alejandra Cordova Perez

Visiting PhD student from Dr. Yogesh Kulatho, University of Dundee

Alicia is part of the Marie Curie ITN UBIMOTIF (https://ubimotif.ku.dk/).
