About Daniel

Daniel Nietlispach is Professor of Biomolecular NMR in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, where he also serves as Assistant Director of Research and NMR Facility Manager. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge and was appointed Reader in Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy in the Department of Biochemistry in 2011. His research is dedicated to integral membrane protein biology, focusing on the structure, dynamics, and function of seven-helical membrane proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and microbial rhodopsins. GPCRs represent the largest family of cell surface receptors, comprising around 850 proteins that transduce extracellular signals into intracellular responses and serve as primary drug targets for numerous physiological processes. The Nietlispach Group employs solution-state NMR spectroscopy to characterize the conformational dynamics of these proteins, their activation mechanisms, and the influence of environmental factors like lipids on function. This includes studies on the agonist-dependent conformational landscapes of GPCRs, such as the β1-adrenergic receptor, and the development of novel membrane mimetic systems.
