Dr. Michaela Müller received her PhD in Neuroscience from Heidelberg University on the topic of Alzheimer ’s disease. She is now doing a Post Doc as an electrophysiologist, at the University Medical Center in Mainz, studying neurodegenerative diseases. Besides doing research she is teaching physiology to medical students during their preclinical training. Promoting neuroscience by interacting with young students and pupils is fun for her. As the national Outreach Manager for the DNO e.V., Dr. Michaela Müller is in contact with...
Wait for it… More to LaShae Nicholson is coming soon! ...
Dr. Ina Simeonova finished her PhD at the University of Heidelberg in 2016. During her academic career she focused first on basic mechanisms of neurogenesis and thereafter on the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into neural lines for transplantation into the damaged spinal cord of rodent animal models of spinal cord injury. Meanwhile she has left academia for good and is working as a Project Manager / IT Consultant in software development. Together with Dr. Beatrice Sandner and...

Dr. Nathalie Tisch successfully defended her PhD in 2019 at the University of Heidelberg and is currently working at the UMN in Mannheim. While she mainly focused on the subject of Neuroscience during her master studies, she has entered into a more interdisciplinary field for her PhD work. Nathalie studied neurovascular interactions. Primarily, she tried to understand how blood vessels, which communicate with neurons at the neurovascular interface, fuel our brain with oxygen and energy as well as promote neuronal...
Catarina has finished her PhD in 2018 at the University of Heidelberg. During her PhD and first Post Doc in Heidelberg and at the central institute of mental health in Mannheim, she worked on neurobilogical mechanisms of addiction. In particular, she investigated different brain activities which correlate to specific addiction behaviours, such as craving and relapse, in animal models of addiction. Currently Catarina is a Project and Communication Manager at the European Vaccine Initiative in Heidelberg, which focuses on coordinating...
Kristel recently finished her PhD in the field of drug sciences at the Institute of Physiology I of University of Bonn. She investigated why and how cells in the mammalian heart have to die by apoptosis to shape correctly this crucial organ. For her, the PhD was an adventure of self-discovery where she realized that she was born to share stories of a variety of topics that can be helpful, educative, and inspiring to others. As she decided to orientate...
