Ilme Schlichting
Ilme Schlichting (born March 8, 1960 in Kiel ) is a German biophysicist .
Live and act
Ilme Schlichting studied biology and physics at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg from 1979 to 1987 and graduated in 1985 with a diploma in biology on investigations into the mechanism of muscle contraction by means of X-ray small-angle scattering and in 1987 in physics on 1 H and 31 P NMR spectroscopic investigations on the ras oncogen product p21 . She received her PhD in biology in 1990 on biophysical studies on the ras oncogenic product p21H .
Schlichting was a Feodor Lynen Fellow at Brandeis University in Boston from 1990 to 1992 and then went to the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg . From 1994 to 2001 she was a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology in Dortmund . Since 2002 she has been director of the Biomolecular Mechanisms Department at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg.
Research priorities
During her doctorate, Schlichting made important contributions to understanding the switch function of the Michaelis complex and thus to understanding this enzyme with the Laue process .
