Rudi H. Ettrich
Summary
Rudi received his prediploma in chemistry (Vordiplom) from Eberhard-Karls-University, Tuebingen, Germany, in 1993, his Master of sciences (Mgr.) in physical and macromolecular chemistry from Charles University, Prague, in 1998 and his PhD. in physical chemistry from Charles University, Prague, in 2002.
Since 2013 he is a full Professor (Prof.) in biophysics and currently acts as the President/CEO of Larkin University, Miami, FL and holds a faculty appointment at the College of Biomedical Sciences. He also holds community-based adjunct faculty positions at the Wertheim College of Medicine, Florida International University, Miami, FL, and the Department of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Czechia.
Prior to joining Larkin University Rudi was affiliated with the Czech Academy of Sciences, where he acted as director, group leader and senior researcher at the Center for Nanobiology and Structural Biology of the Institute of Microbiology in Nové Hrady, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
Rudi's research is focused on the relationship between structure and function of proteins, dynamic changes related to functional processes on the level of proteins and the mutual interaction of cofactors and subunits in protein complexes. The research approach is very complex using various methods of protein research with a synthesis of theoretical and experimental methods.
