Dorothee Liebschner is a computational research scientist in the field of biosciences. She currently works in the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Liebschner's work focuses on macromolecular crystallography, neutron diffraction, and hydrogen atoms in crystallography.
Liebschner's educational background is unknown, but she has worked in various research areas. She has experience in molecular biophysics and integrated bioimaging, as well as macromolecular crystallography, neutron diffraction, and hydrogen atoms in crystallography.
Liebschner has been a part of significant research projects and publications. One of her notable contributions was to an international team of scientists studying how plants split water during photosynthesis. This research involved capturing atomic-scale images of a protein complex found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria using ultrafast X-ray lasers. The team's findings were published in Nature and provided insights into the mechanism of photosynthesis and the production of oxygen, protons, and electrons.
Liebschner has received recognition for her contributions to the field of biosciences. She was among the honorees of the 2021 Berkeley Lab Director's Awards, which acknowledges the outstanding contributions of employees across all facets of laboratory activities.
