marc baldus

Marc Baldus obtained his Ph.D. in physical chemistry at ETH Zurich and worked as assistant professor at Leiden University. In 2000, he became a tenured Group leader at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Goettingen/Germany. Since 2008 he has been working as full professor at Utrecht University where he coordinates the national high-field NMR consortium of the Netherlands (uNMR-NL). In recognition of his research he was awarded several national and international prizes including the Günther Laukien Prize, the Founders Medal of the International Council on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems and the Prize of the Association of the European Biophysical Societies.

The Baldus group develops and applies magnetic resonance (NMR)-based approaches to unravel structure-function relationships in complex molecular systems with the goal to understand how molecular structures and assemblies are dynamically changing during cellular function and disease. Research studies of the Baldus group range from functional in-vitro systems to intact cells and involve the combination of solid-state NMR with other spectroscopic, biophysical and cell biology methods.
