Biography
Syed Hussain Mir is assistant professor in Clinical Biochemistry at University of Kashmir, INDIA. Since Sept. 2012, he is visiting scientist in the group of Prof. Carola Hunte at Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Freiburg, Germany. He has obtained his PhD under the guidance of Prof. Hartmut Michel (Nobel Prize winner, 1988) at Max Planck Institute of Biophysics/ JW Goethe University of Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany. He standardized and established methods for the production of recombinant antibody fragments against difficult membrane protein targets, under the thesis title of “Generation of recombinant antibodies against membrane proteins by phage display”. As a result of the quality of this work, on august 2007, his PhD thesis was awarded as “ausgezeichnet” (summa cum laude), which corresponds to the highest grades of German university doctorate-thesis award system. His research interests include generation of monoclonal antibodies against difficult membrane protein targets for the structural and biochemical characterization of latter. He employs Phage display system utilizing avian immune system.
