オレグ・シッツェル

Assistant Professor and head of the Marine Structural Biology Unit. Oleg's research focuses on characterizing marine organisms by structural biological methods such as cryoelectron tomography and single particle cryoelectron microscopy. Coupled with orthogonal analytical techniques such as proteomics and transcriptomics, his research enables unparalleled, near-atomic level insights into the inner workings of our oceans’ inhabitants. Corals represent the main research interest of his group, which focuses on obtaining a structural biology perspective of how they feed, establish and break up their symbioses with single-celled photosynthetic algae known as zooxanthellae.
