Andreas Schober

Prof. Dr. Andreas Schober is a Professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, serving as principal supervisor for doctoral research at the Institute for Cardiovascular Prevention (IPEK). His work represents cutting-edge research at the intersection of vascular biology and molecular regulation.

His primary research interests include:

• Vascular Biology
• microRNAs
• Atherosclerosis mechanisms
• Cellular imaging techniques
• Macrophage and endothelial cell dynamics

Prof. Schober leads research using advanced 4D live imaging of atherosclerotic lesions, with particular focus on cellular processes including migration, apoptosis, and efferocytosis. His laboratory employs specialized reporter mice expressing fluorescent proteins to track cellular behavior in real-time, providing novel insights into plaque formation and progression.

His research methodology combines genetic approaches with sophisticated imaging to investigate the role of microRNAs in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, with potential implications for future therapeutic interventions.
