K. Michel-J. Mattern studied Biology and Neuroscience at the Universities of Freiburg and Copenhagen. During his Master thesis, he investigated the transcriptional regulation of the circadian neuroendocrine system. He then joined the INIMS as a research assistant and attended bioinformatics lectures at the University of Hamburg. Michel is especially interested in understanding the molecular interactions that drive neurodegeneration to find potential targets for novel treatments. In October 2024, he began his PhD project at the INIMS, where he investigates the contribution of programmed cell death pathways to inflammation-induced neurodegeneration.
