Group Leader:
... studied Biology at the LMU Munich and obtained a PhD in Neuroscience (with Thomas Misgeld). She did her Postdoctoral training in Biophysics at EPFL (with Suliana Manley). She is interested in all aspects of mitochondria, in particular through the eyes of a microscope.
Postdocs:
… studied in Dresden and did her PhD in the group of Helge Ewers at the Free University of Berlin on lipid-binding mediated endocytosis. Now she is interested in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics by local protein translation in healthy and aging neurons.
... studied in Graz and did his PhD in Molecular Biology in the group of Roland Malli. He is interested in how the metabolism influences the morphology of mitochondria.
... studied in Munich and continued with a PhD in Gerhard Schratt’s lab (ETHZ) on non-coding RNA-mediated
regulation of human synapse development. Now, he is investigating the biogenesis and homeostasis of mitochondrial
populations in human neurons.
PhD Students
... obtained a Master's from Kyoto University in Japan. She is interested in mitochondrial membrane contact sites and how they regulate mitochondrial dynamics and function.
Simon Hauser
... starting March 2025
... obtained a MSc in Interdisciplinary Sciences from ETH Zürich. She is investigating how mitochondria are transfered between cells through extracellular vesicles.
... did his Bachelor and Master at the Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg.
He is investigating how remodeling of mitochondrial ultrastructure supports cell specific metabolism and function in macrophages.
... obtained a Bachelor's and Master's from the University of Delft. Now he is exploring into how mitochondria are remodeled in different postmitotic conditions, such as cellular senescence and neuronal differentiation.
