Katherine Henzler-Wildman is the Jean V. Thomas Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her research focuses on the dynamics of integral membrane proteins, particularly in the study of secondary active transport, ion channel gating, and substrate transport mechanisms. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as her primary technique, she investigates the structural dynamics of proteins such as the EmrE transporter and GLUT family sugar transporters. Her work aims to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that underlie molecular transport across cell membranes, a crucial aspect of biochemistry and cellular biology. Henzler-Wildman's expertise spans chemical biology, enzymology, quantitative biology, and structural biology, contributing to insights on how proteins function under various conditions and their roles in drug resistance and nutrient transport in mammalian cells.
