Biography

Rainer Kaufmann is a Group Leader at the Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB) at Universität Hamburg. His research focuses on developing super-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques under cryogenic conditions, aiming to enhance structural preservation of samples while achieving high-resolution imaging. His team is pioneering work in super-resolution cryo-fluorescence microscopy (cryo-FM), addressing critical issues in imaging that involve sample preservation and minimizing artefacts during data collection. The integration of cryo-EM and super-resolution techniques opens avenues for studying rare biological interactions, particularly in the context of infectious diseases. Kaufmann's research group engages in significant collaborations to tackle contemporary challenges in structural biology. His academic contributions are vital in bridging the gap between conventional imaging methods and advanced cryo-techniques, facilitating improved visualization and understanding of complex biological systems.
