The CRC 1333 is happy to welcome Professor Dr. Johann Rohwer from Stellenbosch University, South Africa for his 6-month stay at the University of Stuttgart. He has been invited by Prof. Jürgen Pleiss, project INF of the CRC 1333 and will stay in Stuttgart as a Humboldt Fellow and as a Visiting Professor supported by Excellence Cluster EXC 2075 and the Collaborative Research Center 1333.
Prof. Rohwer will be part of our program of winter term 25/26.
September 18/19, 2025 – all day
2-day hands-on computer workshop for postdocs and doctoral researchers
Graduate Program of the CRC 1333 and EXC2075
Topic: “FAIR analysis and parametrisation of reaction kinetics”
Registration is open until July 31, 2025 via our website.
November 13, 2025, 02:00 PM
Talk within the CRC 1333 Colloquium Series
Topic: “Kinetic modelling and parametrisation of cascade reactions with NMRPy and PySCeS.”
Prof. Rohwer is an expert in molecular systems biology, using theory, computer modelling and experimental approaches. He will continue his collaboration with his host, Prof. Jürgen Pleiss, on FAIR analytics for enzymology with a focus on time-resolved NMR spectroscopy data, and on kinetic modelling of complex catalytic systems. “The interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues from Excellence Cluster EXC2075, Collaborative Research Centre CRC1333, and Research Unit 5596 will inspire novel approaches to data management and data analysis, and foster the transfer of enzyme modelling techniques into other fields of chemistry and engineering”, notes Prof. Rohwer. “I am grateful to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the German Research Foundation for supporting my research stay.”
Prof. Rohwer received his PhD from the University of Amsterdam, and, together with colleagues Profs. Jannie Hofmeyr and Jacky Snoep, established the Research Group for Molecular Systems Biology at the Stellenbosch University (South Africa) in 2000. In 2008 he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship and spent a year at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam-Golm. During 2016, he spent a 6-month follow-up visit at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena.
