Felix Fischbach studied medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilian’s University of Munich (LMU). Fascinated by the complex interactions of glial cells and neurons in a neuroinflammatory condition he carried out his MD thesis in the Department of Neuroanatomy in Munich investigating oligodendroglial stress responses in inflammatory and metabolic animal models of Multiple Sclerosis. In April 2020 he started his residency at the Department of Neurology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Since the middle of 2021, he works as a postdoctoral scientist at the INIMS. He continued his research at the INIMS and focusses on cellular stress responses of neurons in an inflammatory environment, especially those involving protein accumulation. Additionally, he is interested in neurodegeneration not being driven by inflammation and the associated glial responses.
