Dusan Uhrin is a Chair of NMR Spectroscopy at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and the analysis of complex mixtures. His research focuses on molecular structure and dynamics, particularly in carbohydrates and their interactions with biological systems. He investigates the structural basis of protein-carbohydrate interactions, such as those involving complement factor H and glycosaminoglycans, and their implications in diseases like age-related macular degeneration. His work also explores the structural and functional roles of proteins like MeCP2 and MDM2, as well as the chemical complexity of natural products such as scotch whisky. His research combines advanced spectroscopic techniques to elucidate molecular mechanisms in health and disease.
