Dr. Daniel Friedrich
Head of Research Group and Director of NMR Platform
Daniel Friedrich (name at birth Stöppler) received his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in 2011 at University of Potsdam, and his Diploma in Biochemistry in 2014 at Free University of Berlin. After completing his PhD studies at Leibniz-Institute of Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) Berlin in 2018, establishing advanced magic-angle-spinning NMR methods to investigate protonation dynamics in proteins, he did postdoctoral work at Harvard Medical School in Boston (USA) on NMR-based analyses of non-canonical translation initiation in eukaryotes. Since 2022, Daniel Friedrich is heading the NMR research group at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of University of Cologne.
