Molecular Biology
Postdoc with Junior Fellow Stefan Schiller

CV

Matthias Huber studied Biology at the Albert-Ludwigs University Freiburg, Germany. He complete his diploma thesis in molecular biology in 1993 in the department of Prof. Dr. Albrecht Sippel. After receiving his PhD on reorganisation of chromatin structure and gene regulation in 1996 in the group of Dr. Constanze Bonifer he stayed there as a postdoctoral fellow. In 1998 he started in the F&E department of BioChip Technology GmbH as a group leader in method development. He moved in 2000 to the company Biosynthetics GbR as head of laboratory and project director with the topic synthetic genes and synthetic biology. In 2001 he cofounded the Biosynthetics GmbH. He resigned in 2002 to work the following years in the IT security company Justec GmbH. From 2006 to 2008 he joined the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Roland Schüle in the Centre for Clinical Research at the University Hospital Freiburg. In 2008, he joined the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) School for Soft Matter Research at the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg as a postdoc in the group of Dr. Stefan Schiller. The group is focus on combining macromolecular chemistry with synthetic biology. Genetic engineering, protein design and optimization and metabolic engineering of microbial systems give rise to new biohybrid materials and new functional biomolecular complexes and pathways in future.
