Ulrich Schwaneberg

Ulrich Schwaneberg (born 17 June 1969 in Waiblingen, Germany) is a German chemist and protein engineer. He is the Chair of Biotechnology at RWTH Aachen University and member of the scientific board at the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen. He specializes in directed evolution of proteins for material science applications and on the development of its methodologies. The latter comprise methods for diversity generation (e.g. PLICing, SeSaM, OmniChange, cepPCR, PePevo), as well as high-throughput screening systems (e.g. Fur-Shell). His work group has elucidated general design principles of enzymes by analyzing libraries that contain the full natural diversity of a hydrolase with single amino acid exchanges and developed strategies to efficiently explore the protein sequence space (e.g. KnowVolution) and discovered protein engineering principles.
