Fabian Barthels

Research Group Leader at JGU | Medicinal chemist excited about RNA modifications

Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

About

The Barthels Lab aims to tackle the development of RNA-modifying enzyme inhibitors by contemporary techniques of the medicinal chemistry repertoire. In order to understand the effect of RNA modifications at the molecular level, we strive to develop spectroscopic techniques to characterize native RNA in solution for its structure and dynamics.
