Robert H is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, where his team developed methods for the crystallography of proteins. In 1988, he received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry jointly with Johann Deisenhofer and Hartmut Michel. Three were recognized for their work in first crystallizing an intra-membrane protein important in photosynthesis in purple bacteria, and subsequently applying X-ray crystallography to elucidate the protein's structure. The information provided the first insight into the structural bodies that performed the integral function of photosynthesis. This insight could be translated to understand the more complex analogue of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria which is essentially the same as that in chloroplasts of higher plants. In 2006, he took up a post at the Cardiff University to spearhead the development of structural biology at the university on a part-time basis. Since 2005, he has been doing research at the Center for Medical Biotechnology of the University of Duisburg-Essen. He was one of the original editors of the “Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry”.   Robert H is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, where his team developed methods for the crystallography of proteins.
