Hartmut Oschkinat (born 28 February 1957)[1] is a German structural biologist and professor for chemistry at the Free University of Berlin.

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."

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.

After using solution-state NMR spectroscopy to determine three-dimensional structures of soluble proteins such as the pleckstrin homology domain[6] and the WW domain,[7] characterise protein–protein interactions involving the latter,[8] with applications in fragment-based drug discovery,[9][10] he moved on to focus on the investigation of biological systems by solid-state NMR (ssNMR) with magic angle spinning.

[12] Since 2005, his research group investigates complex biomolecular systems such as membrane proteins within the native lipid environment,[13][14][15] amyloid fibrils,[16] and oligomers.
