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 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
... 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.
Yumi Arima
... will join the group in June 2024. She obtained a Master's from Kyoto University and is interested in mitochondrial membrane contact sites and lipid transfer.
Master Students
Simon Hauser
... studies Interdisciplinary Sciences at ETH Zürich and is interested in identifying novel upstream regulators of mitochondrial fission by using a super-resolution imaging-based screen.
Ana Kitanovic
... obtained a Master's in Interdisciplinary Sciences from ETH Zürich. She is interested in how mitochondrial content is exchanged between different cell types.
Joshua Sammet
... did a Bachelor's in Computational Science & Engineering and a Master's in Biomedical Engineering at ETHZ. Interested in using computational methods to understand the behavior of biological systems, he develops a mathematical model to describe mitochondrial network remodeling (co-supervised with Thomas Michaels).
