Mnova in an educational environment | Webinar

Dr. Heike Hofstetter studied chemistry at the Eberhard-Karls-University in Tübingen, where she got a diploma in Chemistry and a PhD in organic chemistry working with Prof. Volker Schurig on enantiomer separations using protein chiral stationary phases.

Heike carried out her post-doctoral studies with Prof. Meir Wilchek at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel exploring extensions of the avidin-biotin system. She joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL, first as Visiting Assistant Professor in the field of Analytical Biochemistry. Then she accepted a position of Analytical Laboratory Manager in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at NIU in 2006.

In 2014 Heike joined the Department of Chemistry at University of Wisconsin-Madison as Associate Director of the Magnetic Resonance Facility. While research and research support are important components of her current position, another of her major focus is on instruction. She is currently teaching a graduate class on NMR instrumentation and being actively involved in instructional design.
