Dr. Patrick Rabe

Patrick studied chemistry at the University of Braunschweig in Germany. In 2016, he finished his PhD at the Kekulé-Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Bonn on “Mechanistic Studies on Bacterial Terpene Synthases” with Prof. Jeroen S. Dickschat, which was awarded with the 2017 Dechema doctoral award. His passion to understand the details of macromolecular catalysis motivated him to start his postdoctoral research in the group of Prof. Christopher Schofield at the University of Oxford (funded by the Deutsche Akademie für Naturforscher Leopoldina, Germany). Since 2021, Patrick is teaching as part of the SBMCDT biopolymers course at the University of Oxford. In 2023, Patrick was awarded with a Career Development Award by the Wellcome Trust which allowed him to start his indepedant career in Oxford. Patrick is teaching the "Introduction to Biological Chemistry" course at the University of Oxford.
