معرفی
Prof. Dr. Andreas Janshoff is a Full Professor (W3) of Biophysical Chemistry at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Georg-August-University Göttingen (since 2008). He previously served as Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry in Göttingen (2013–2015). His research focuses on membrane biophysics, cell mechanics, sensor design, and single-molecule force spectroscopy. Key contributions include studies on actin cortices, cellular adhesion dynamics, and viscoelastic properties of biological systems.
Education:
- 1987–1989: Biology studies at University of Münster
- 1989–1994: Chemistry studies at University of Münster (with honors)
- 1994–1997: PhD in Biochemistry under Prof. H.-J. Galla
- 1999–2001: Habilitation in Biochemistry at University of Münster
Research Interests: His work integrates experimental biophysics with advanced microscopy and nanoindentation techniques to explore cell mechanics, membrane dynamics, and biomaterial interactions. Recent studies emphasize actin network rheology, collective cell migration, and protein-mediated tissue fluidity.
Publications: Recent work highlights include studies on cytosolic actin isoforms’ mechanical roles (Nature Communications 2023), differential adhesion in cocultures (PNAS 2023), and vimentin viscoelasticity (Science Advances 2018). Themes emphasize quantitative biophysical analysis of cellular and molecular systems.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neuroscience (GGNB), focusing on Physics of Biological and Complex Systems and Biomolecules: Structure-Function-Dynamics.
