ph: 767-255-6429

Dr. Engelbert Buxbaum, Dr. rer. nat., Dipl. Biol., degree was awarded for research into the reaction mechanism of Na+/K+-ATPase by the Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen, Germany, followed by work in Frankfurt (AIDS), Manchester (molecular chaperons) and Leicester (fast reactions in Na/K-ATPase, mechanism of Mdr1). This was then followed by four years in the Department of Biochemistry at the Medical Faculty of the University of Kuwait as an assistant professor, teaching medical and science students.
