About me

I received my BSc (Hons) degree from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and my PhD degree from the University of Texas Soutwestern Medical Center at Dallas, USA, under the supervision of Johann Deisenhofer. I worked as Postdoctoral Fellow at Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Dallas Texas, and at St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia. I have been at The University of Queensland since the year 2000. I have been awarded the Minister's Prize for Achievement in Life Sciences in 2001, the ASBMB Roche Medal in 2009 and the ASBMB Beckman Coulter Discovery Science Award in 2018. I was awarded the ARC Federation Fellowship in 2005 and the ARC Laureate Fellowship in 2017. I become Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2018.

Research focus and collaborations

Protein structure and function

The group’s research theme is protein structure and function, with the emphasis on understanding the structural basis of intra- and intermolecular interactions formed by these macromolecules and inferring function from structure. The biological focus is on proteins involved in infection and immunity. The goal of the research is to use structural and molecular information to understand the molecular and cellular functions of proteins, validate proteins as therapeutic targets or biotechnological products, and to design new therapeutics and biotechnological applications. The primary techniques used in the laboratory are X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, combined with a plethora of other molecular biology, biophysical and computational techniques.

Researcher biography

Dr Kobe's research interests are in protein structure and function, focussing particularly on proteins involved in the processes of infection and immunity.

The primary techniques used in the laboratory are X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, combined with a plethora of other molecular biology, biophysical and computational techniques.

Current projects include:

Structural basis of signalling by cooperative assembly formation (SCAF) in innate immunity and cell-death pathways, in particular Toll-like receptors and interleukin-1 receptors
