maik.drechsler (et) uni-osnabrueck.de

I studied Biology in Dresden and Osnabruck, where I then received my Master degree. I joined the group of Achim Paululat to work on the cardiac extracellular matrix. For the identification and characterisation of the new ECM protein Lonely heart I received my PhD in 2012. As a PostDoc, I met the laboratory of Isabella Paliacios in Cambridge, UK, to work on actin dynamics in the oocyte. Since 2019 I am back in Osnabruck to establish my own young investigator group to work on the role of the actin nucleator Spire in regulating spatial dynamics of cytoplasmic flow in the oocyte.
