Michelle is PhD student and holds a B.Sc in Biology and a M.Sc in Molecular Anthropology. Her research focuses on the development of gut-on-chip models, the integration of immune cells and the microbiota as well as the investigation of inflammatory processes in the gut.
Research interests: Gut-on-Chip, Inflammation, Microbiome, Host-Commensal-Pathogen-Interaction
Martin is PostDoc and holds Diploma in Biochemistry. Since 2012 his research is focussed on endothelial cell biology and the interaction of nanoparticles with endothelial cells . He furthermore works on the development of liver and kidney models based on human induced pluripotent stem cells for personalised medicine.
Research interests: endothelial biology in human organ-on-chip models, nanocarrier systems, Inflammation, iPSC
Mathilda is PhD student and holds BSc. in Biochemistry and MSc. in Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience. She is Early Stage Researcher in the Innovative Training Network EUROoC and develops an hiPSC based gut-on-chip model. She is in particular interested in host-microbiota interaction and effect of the microbiome on neural activity within the gut and along the gut-brain-axis.
Research interests: hiPSC, neurology, microbiota-host interaction, IBD, gut-brain-axis
... trained Biochemist (B.Sc., Biochemistry / Molecular Biology, M.Sc., Biochemistry) and is working as PostDoc on the influence of hypoxia on the interaction of intestinal epithelial cells with C. albicans. Her research focuses on the establishment of a gut-on-chip / microbiome model in cooperation with the research group Microbial Immunology of the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, Hans-Knöll-Institut Jena.
