Ulrich K. Laemmli (born 1940), real name Lämmli, is a Professor in the biochemistry and molecular biology departments at University of Geneva.
He is known for the refinement of SDS-PAGE, a widely used method for separating proteins based on their electrophoretic mobility.
[2][3][4] His current research involves studying the structural organization of nuclei and chromatin within the cell.
[7] He conducted a postdoctoral fellowship at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology under Aaron Klug.
[8] Although electrophoresis was used to separate proteins before Laemmli's work, he made significant improvements to the method.
