Constanze, also pharmacy student, currently is working on her diploma thesis which is co-supervised by Dr. Claire Colas. The aim of her thesis will be to identify the structural determinants defining the substrate specificity of the human Bile acid transporters NTCP and ASBT. Therefore she is using structure-based methodologies, such as homology modeling and ligand-based Pharmacophores.
