معرفی
Anna Ziegler is a Junior Group Leader and Researcher at the Institute for Neuro- and Behavioral Biology at the University of Münster. Her work spans neurobiology, lipid metabolism, and neurodegenerative diseases using Drosophila genetics as a model system.
- 2021–Present: Junior Group Leader at University of Münster
- 2015–2021: Research Associate at Helmholtz Institute (DZNE), Bonn
- 2010–2015: Research Associate at CNRS Dijon
- 2002–2010: PhD in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ruhr University Bochum
Ziegler’s research focuses on lipid metabolism in neuronal maintenance, particularly ceramide synthase and glycerophospholipids, with implications for neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease. She investigates mechanisms such as actin dynamics, dendrite branching, and synaptic vesicle regulation using Drosophila models.
Her publications (2013–2021) highlight interdisciplinary work connecting lipid biochemistry with neuronal physiology, synaptic transmission, and behavioral genetics. Key themes include neurodegeneration, nutrient sensing, and glial-neuronal interactions in disease contexts.
She supervises in the CiM-IMPRS Graduate Programme and participates in the Multiscale Imaging Centre (MIC) at the University of Münster, contributing to collaborative research on neurobiology and imaging technologies.
