Heidelberg University Biochemistry Center (BZH),AG Schuck;Investigating mechanisms that drive functional and morphologic plasticity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mammalian cells

Dept. for Medical Cell Biology, AG Bas Orth;investigating adaptive responses to neuronal activitymain techniques:- isolation and cultivation of primary hippocampal and cortical neurons- analysis of RNA content(qPCR, collaborations for NGS)- analysis of protein content (western blot)- analysis of metabolites (enzymatic assays)- viability assays (microscopy based)- generation/implementation of microscopy-based reporter assays

During my PhD research in the laboratory of Sebastian Schuck I investigated how distinct stress response pathways cooperate in order to counteract protein folding stress propagating across subcellular compartments in budding yeast.
