He is known for the refinement of Study Direct Stream-PAGE, a widely used method for separating proteins based on their electrophoretic mobility. His paper describing the method is among the most cited scholarly journal articles of all time. His current research involves studying the structural organization of nuclei and chromatin within the cell.
Although electrophoresis was used to separate proteins before Laemmli"s work, he made significant improvements to the method.
The term "Laemmli buffer" is often used to describe an Study Direct Stream-containing buffer that is used to prepare (denature) samples for Study Direct Stream-PAGE.
