Karolin Luger earned her bachelor’s degree in microbiology and her master’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Innsbruck. She completed her PhD in biochemistry and biophysics at the University of Basel. In 1997, she published the first high-resolution 3D structure of the nucleosome, determined using X-ray crystallography. The Luger Lab uses structural biology to understand the impact of chromatin architecture on fundamental genome-related processes.
