Associate Professor Ben Hankamer    Principal Research Fellow

	Biography

Our group is focused on developing a broad based platform for the structure determination of membrane proteins and macromolecular assemblies, based upon single particle analysis, electron and X-ray crystallography.

Dr Ben Hankamer is the group leader for Membrane Protein Structures research at the IMB.

A strong research focus of his group is on automation to increase the rate of protein structure determination. A selection of proteins involved in a range of important biological processes and biotechnology applications (eg. Biohydrogen) are currently being investigated as part of the IMB's Visual Cell program.
