"Posttranslational Modifications Of The GNE"
presented by:
Dr. Horstkorte is Professor for Physiological Chemistry at the Medical School of the Martin-Luther-University in Halle.
Dr. Horstkorte graduated (Diploma) in Biology from the University of Heidelberg (Germany). He received his doctoral degree in 1993 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich (Switzerland). In 1994 he was an EMBO-Fellow at Clinical Research Centre of the MRC in London (Great Britain). From London, he moved back to Germany and was working for many years at the Charité in Berlin (Germany). During this time, he generated the first GNE knockout mouse in the lab of Prof. Reutter. In 2006 he accepted a full professorship (Professor for Physiological Chemistry) at the Medical Faculty of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg.
He is the former spokesperson of the German Glycobiology Section of the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM) and is the German national representative of the International Glycoconjugate Organization (IGO).
