About

Imre Berger is a pioneering structural biologist and biochemist whose work has fundamentally advanced the production and study of multiprotein complexes. His research centers on developing innovative expression systems and synthetic biology tools to overcome the bottleneck of producing large, functional protein assemblies for structural and biophysical analysis. Berger’s major contributions include the creation of new baculovirus expression vectors (220 citations) and the development of robotic pipelines for multiprotein expression in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (105 citations), enabling the high-yield production of otherwise intractable complexes. He also introduced a robust tandem recombineering protocol combining SLIC cloning and Cre-LoxP fusion (28 citations), streamlining multigene construct assembly. More recently, Berger has expanded into synthetic cell biology, pioneering microfluidic production of biofunctionalized giant unilamellar vesicles for targeted intracellular cargo delivery (82 citations), opening new avenues in drug delivery and membrane biophysics. His work has been instrumental in the field of structural complexomics, and his tools are widely adopted by laboratories worldwide, cementing his reputation as a leader in molecular engineering and structural biology.
