Daniela Meilinger

Dr. Daniela Meilinger is a Lecturer at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München's Department of Human Biology and BioImaging, based at the Biozentrum Martinsried. Her research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation and chromatin structure, with implications for developmental biology and disease. She contributes to the Leonhardt Group, investigating molecular pathways governing gene regulation and cellular differentiation.

Her work bridges fundamental epigenetics with clinical insights, such as studying DNMT1 mutations linked to HSANIE and their impact on neuronal development. She explores interactions between DNA methyltransferases and proteins like UHRF1, uncovering how these regulate chromatin states and stem cell behavior.

Contact details include her office in room B 03.061 and virtual office hours on Mondays and Wednesdays via the provided Moodle link. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, but her publications reflect a sustained contribution to high-impact research in epigenetics since 2007.
