Editors for Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics

We aim to review studies that advance our understanding of molecular mechanisms in biology, using experimental and computational approaches to provide quantitative insights. We also welcome studies describing structure determination by methods including cryoEM, crystallography and NMR, the investigation of macromolecular dynamics, the evolution of function and specificity in molecular systems, and the application of advanced biophysical methods to capture molecules in action. Read the latest research in this subject area.

  1. Amy H Andreotti

    Iowa State University, United States

    Amy Andreotti is the Roy J Carver Chair in Biochemistry and a University Professor at Iowa State University. She joined the faculty of the Roy J Carver Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology in 1997 after earning her PhD in Chemistry at Princeton University and completing a postdoctoral training period in the Chemistry Department at Harvard University where she was a Science Scholar at the Bunting Institute of Radcliffe College. Her work explores the mechanisms of kinase regulation during cell signaling with an emphasis on the immune specific TEC family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases. A particular focus of the lab is Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) and its interactions with small molecule therapeutics. Her lab uses a variety of biochemical, enzymatic and structural biology methods including solution NMR spectroscopy.

  2. Felix Campelo

    The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain

    Felix Campelo is a researcher specializing in membrane biophysics, cell biology, and fluorescence microscopy tools to understand intracellular organization. He did his PhD research in theoretical biophysics at the University of Barcelona and Tel Aviv University, developing computational and theoretical methods to study membrane shape and dynamics. In his postdoc at the Malhotra lab (CRG-Center for Genomic Regulation), he shifted to experimental cell biology and biochemistry to explore mechanisms of intracellular trafficking and the cooperation between lipids and proteins in organizing Golgi membranes.

    Currently leading the Intracellular Dynamics and Nanoscopy lab at ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Felix and his interdisciplinary lab focus on organelle morphology and dynamics, with a particular interest in intracellular membrane trafficking in the early secretory pathway. They employ advanced microscopy techniques, molecular and cell biology tools, and theoretical biophysics to address fundamental topics in cell biology.

    Goethe University, Germany

    Volker Dötsch is Professor of Biophysical Chemistry at Goethe University and a member of the Magnetic Resonance Center Frankfurt. He studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen and obtained a PhD from the ETH in Zürich. As a postdoctoral fellow he used NMR to determine the structure of protein-DNA complexes at the Harvard Medical School. In 1998 he moved as assistant professor to the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). In 2003 he was appointed professor at the Institute of Biophysical Chemistry of Goethe University in Frankfurt. His research interests focus on the structural and functional characterization of members of the p53 protein family, in particular p63 and its involvement in genetic quality control in germ cells. In addition, his laboratory uses a combination of NMR spectroscopy and cell-free protein expression to investigate the structure and function of membrane proteins and studies molecular interactions regulating autophagy. His lab uses a wide variety of biophysical methods including NMR spectroscopy and combines these studies with investigations in cell culture experiments and mouse models. Volker Dötsch is an elected EMBO member.
