Ekkehard Neuhaus PhD

Ekkehard Neuhaus is head of the division of plant physiology at the Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK). His group is interested in transport proteins in plants and bacteria. Special aspects are currently ATP transporters in plant plasma- and endomembranes, as well as sugar transporters in membranes of the plastid and vacuole. His aim is to understand transporter functions on the biochemical level (e.g. mode of transport, substrate specificity) and on the physiological level (implications of transporters for plant primary metabolism, development, and adaptations).
