We are excited to have another paper from the lab out in Science Translational Medicine: ‘A human iPSC-derived Tauopathy model that endogenously develops late-stage Tau pathology’. Congrats to Angelika and all involved!
Dominik presented Merle’s work on reprogrammed microglia for the treatment of AD at the international ADPD conference, where he also co-chaired the session on Microglia and Neuroimmune targets in AD, FTD and PD. His presentation was also featured on Alzforum.
Two back-to-back papers out today at Nature Neuroscience in collaboration with DichgansLab at ISD. We developed a fully iPSC-derived human model of the blood-brain-barrier and applied it to study neurovascular diseases with a focus on FOXF2 biology! Congrats to Judit, Katalin and all involved and thanks to Martin for the great collaboration!
She did it! Huge congrats to Postdoc Angelika Dannert, who received the Deutscher Studienpreis award for the best biomedical research PhD thesis in Germany, directly from Julia Klöckner, head of the German parliament!!! 🍾
The lab got together for another very nice Christmas Party at a Bavarian Restaurant. Thanks everyone for your great work in 2025!

Our lab is part of the newly approved CRC on “Compartmentalized Cellular Networks in Neurovascular Diseases”. CRC 1744 aims to uncover the causes of Neurovascular Diseases and to pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies.
Big congrats to PhD student Carolina Goncalves, who successfully defended her PhD on building and applying a fully human iPSC-derived 3D brain tissue model for AD today! And thanks lab for the nice hat!
