Speaker

Dr. Wolf joined Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in 2012, where he is leading the Molecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy Unit. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School in the laboratory of Prof. Stephen Harrison with an emphasis on molecular virology. Matthias received a PhD in Biophysics and Structural Biology from Brandeis University, working with Prof. Nikolaus Grigorieff and Prof. David DeRosier on the structure of viruses and ion channels using cryo-EM. Previously, he studied pharmaceutical chemistry with an emphasis on computer-aided drug design and holds a Master’s degree in Pharmacy from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. In 2020, he has been promoted to tenured full Professor at OIST and became joint appointment research fellow at Academia Sinica in Taipei. The OIST Wolf Unit focuses on structure and function of macromolecular complexes using single particle cryo-EM. An emphasis lies on virology, microbiology and large molecular machines.
