Heinrich Roder is a professor at Fox Chase Cancer Center with a strong focus on protein folding and its implications for cellular processes. He researches the mechanisms of protein folding, particularly early structural events and fast kinetics, utilizing various biophysical tools including NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence. His research investigates the dynamics of ligand interactions and the functional roles of intrinsically disordered protein regions, contributing to a deeper understanding of protein structure-function relationships. Roder has worked on elucidating mechanisms of coupled protein folding and ligand binding, providing insights into the structural and energetic bases for these processes. He is involved in the development of theoretical models to interpret kinetic data, with research outputs relevant to diseases linked to protein misfolding. His lab also studies the NHERF1 protein, exploring its role in signaling pathways and receptor trafficking, leveraging advanced NMR techniques to gain insights into its structural dynamics.
