Overview

Thomas Seebeck is affiliated with the University of Bern in Switzerland and has contributed to the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, as well as Medicine. Their research focuses significantly on the study of phosphodiesterase function and regulation, enzyme function and inhibition, and disease-causing protozoans such as Leishmania and Trypanosoma species.

Their main subfields of study include Molecular Biology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Epidemiology. The scientific topics covered by their work reveal a concentration on parasite biology and medicinal chemistry, particularly involving the inhibition of enzymes as potential drug targets.

Thomas Seebeck has authored several recent papers, addressing various aspects of phosphodiesterase enzymes and parasitic diseases. Notable publications include:

  • Crystal structure of the Leishmania major phosphodiesterase LmjPDEB1 and insight into the design of the parasite-selective inhibitors, 2020, UNC Libraries
  • Discovery of Novel Trypanosoma brucei Phosphodiesterase B1 Inhibitors by Virtual Screening against the Unliganded TbrPDEB1 Crystal Structure, 2020, OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
