Curriculum Vitae

Rasmus Linser was born in Walsrode, Germany, in 1980. He studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. He obtained his Diploma in Chemistry in 2006, after his thesis in organic synthesis in the group of Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Lutz F. Tietze. After getting in first touch with biomolecular NMR spectroscopy in lectures held by Prof. Dr. Christian Griesinger, he pursued his PhD thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. Bernd Reif at the Leibniz Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP), Berlin/Humboldt University Berlin until 2010. This work constituted the start of methods development for proton-detected solid-state NMR on proteins. After a stay at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, as a research scientist and conjoint lecturer at the Analytical Centre and School of Chemistry, he joined the group of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Wagner at Harvard Medical School, Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, in Boston, MA, in 2011. In conjunction with the reputable Discovery Early Career Research Award of the Australian Research Council (ARC), he maintained a dual affiliation with UNSW Sydney and Harvard Medical School, further pursuing research in the group of Dr. Jacqueline Gulbis at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) Melbourne.
