life-span regulation and pathophysioloy in neurodegenerative diseases,
metabolic disorders and in the aging process. We are generating mouse
models with systemic or tissue-specific mitochondrial dysfunction and,
along with already existing murine lines, will study to molecular and
cellular effect of the mitochondrial dysfunction.
We are a young, dynamic group which is integrated in an excellent,
collaborative and international scientific environment at the
University of Cologne (Center of Molecular Medicine, Excellence
Cluster for Aging research - CECAD). To complement our team, we are
