Biography
Dr. Martin Trebbin has been working on microfluidics since early 2009, with a strong focus on structure determination methods using X-rays (small-/wide-angle X-ray scattering, SAXS/WAXS) and handling of smallest amounts of samples for which he received his doctoral degree in 2013 (summa cum laude) at the University of Bayreuth (Germany). In 2014 he started working at the excellence cluster “Centre for Ultrafast Imaging” at the University of Hamburg (Germany). During this independent group leader position as Assistant Professor dedicated to “Ultrafast structure determination in liquids”, Trebbin has intensified this direction and expanded his expertise into time-resolved X-ray serial macromolecular crystallography (SFX, SSX) using X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) and synchrotrons (using both monochromatic and Laue radiation). In collaboration with Dr. Stephen Muench (Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, University of Leeds, UK), he has also worked on single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. In August 2018, Martin Trebbin joined the University at Buffalo as an Empire Innovation Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry to continue his work on ultrafast time-resolved structure determination.
