Joachim Heberle

Joachim Heberle (born October 1, 1960 in Bietigheim ) is a German experimental biophysicist and professor at the Free University of Berlin .

Life

Heberle began studying chemistry at the University of Stuttgart , which he completed in 1980 with a diploma in physical chemistry from the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg . Three years later he did his doctorate in biophysics at the Free University of Berlin. From 1991 to 1993 he went to the Hahn Meitner Institute in Berlin as a post-doctoral student . In 1993 Heberle moved to Forschungszentrum Jülich , where he founded a junior research group. During this time he completed his habilitation in biophysical chemistry (1998) at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf . In 2005 he became a professor in the Faculty of Chemistry at theBielefeld University . Since 2009 he has been Professor of Experimental Molecular Biophysics in the Physics Department at the Free University of Berlin.

International

During his research career, Heberle was visiting scholar at the University of Arizona in Tucson (1991) and at the University of Gothenburg (1995). He was later visiting professor at Changchun University , China (2009) and Nagoya University of Technology , Japan (2015-2016). In October 2014 she was on a lecture tour through various Japanese universities funded by a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

Act

Heberle's scientific focus is on the development and application of vibrational spectroscopic methods ( IR and Raman ) to research the functionality of proteins . With his colleague Dr. Kenichi Ataka he is the pioneer in the development and application of surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy on biochemical systems. He is primarily interested in transmembrane proteins , such as. B. the cytochrome c oxidase or the microbial rhodopsins . Heberle has made significant contributions to the molecular understanding of the light-activated ion channel channelrhodopsin , the discovery of which by Nagel , Hegemann and Bamberg founded the new field of optogenetics . Since 2017 Heberle has been the spokesman for the Collaborative Research Center 1078 “Protonation Dynamics in Protein Function”, in which these proteins are examined.
