Our new PhD students

We are happy that our team is growing further:

Lukas Heintz studied biochemistry and molecular biology. During his master's thesis at Kiel university he worked on (metallo)proteases and established CRISPR-based techniques of endogenous tagging. Now he will start working on the differential role of the immuno-proteasome in glomerular cells.

Sarah Frömbling finished her master's thesis as well at the university of Kiel. She worked on the optogenetic manipulation of second messenger levels in the intestine of the fruit fly to evaluate the associated host microbe homeostasis. On her PhD project she will investigate the role of UCH-L1 in membranous nephropathy.

Our new medical student

Lisa Schebsdat joined us in March after finishing her 9th semester at the university of Hamburg. In the following year she will have a closer look into the activity of the proteasome and immunoproteasome in renal diseases, especially the membranous nephropathy. In order to do so, she will work with activity-based probes, generated by scientists of the university in Leiden, NL.
