Hartmut Oschkinat
German structural biologist and professor for chemistry
Hartmut Oschkinat (born 28 February 1957) is a German structural biologist and professor for chemistry at the Free University of Berlin. His research focuses on the study of biological systems with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.
He is a member of the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Biomolecular NMR and Structure.
Life and career
Oschkinat studied chemistry at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University of Frankfurt. He received his doctoral degree in 1986 under the supervision of Horst Kessler with the title "Analysis of the conformation of Cyclosporin in solution using NMR-spectroscopy: development and use of new methods." in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). After his work as a postdoctoral researcher with Geoffrey Bodenhausen at the University of Lausanne, Oschkinat moved to the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried in 1987 as a post-doc in the Lab of Marius Clore and Angela Gronenborn. There, he was working with Marius Clore, Angela Gronenborn and the Nobel laureate Robert Huber. After his habilitation at the Technical University of Munich in 1992, Hartmut Oschkinat moved to the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg. Since 1998, he is the head of the department NMR-supported Structural Biology at the Leibniz-Institut für Molekulare Pharmakologie in Berlin.
Research
At the beginning of his career, Oschkinat worked in the field of solution-state NMR, and made fundamental contributions to establish the role of multidimensional NMR spectroscopy in structural biology.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hartmut Oschkinat” as german structural biologist and professor for chemistry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as german structural biologist and professor for chemistry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28321908. VIAF identifies the subject as 368149198318474940002. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1957, 1986, 1987 and 1992.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
- Establishing names and roles
- Building a first chronology
- Locating cited institutions
Personal papers, civil or court records, institutional files and the scholarship cited by the source.
Three-step research path
- Establish the record: confirm the title “Hartmut Oschkinat”, its source revision and the description used here.
- Expand the search: follow Hartmut Oschkinat primary sources, Hartmut Oschkinat archive and Hartmut research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
- Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.
Questions for further research
