Lars Konermann is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Western University. His research bridges the areas of biophysics, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry, focusing on the behavior of proteins in health and disease. His work involves the development and application of novel electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) techniques, complemented by state-of-the-art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Konermann is particularly interested in understanding protein folding mechanisms, protein conformational dynamics, and the interactions between drug molecules and proteins. Additionally, he explores the essential role that electrospray ionization plays in transferring biological macromolecules from solution to gas phase, which is fundamental for experimental techniques employed in laboratories worldwide. His ongoing investigations address how charged droplets behave within the electrospray plume, providing critical insights into biomolecular interactions and the role of water in biological systems.
