Felix Anderl

Felix Anderl is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Chemistry and the Institute of Biological Chemistry. His work bridges chemical ecology, pharmacology, and arthropod biology, focusing on natural products and their ecological or biomedical implications.

• Institution: Faculty of Chemistry, Institute of Biological Chemistry

Research Interests: His studies explore the chemical composition and functional roles of ketones, quinones, and dimers in julid millipedes (Arthropoda, Myriapoda, Diplopoda, Julida), with applications in understanding neurodegenerative triggers and antimicrobial interactions. Key areas include:

• Chemical ecology of arthropods
• Neurotoxic effects of natural compounds
• Secondary metabolite interactions in microbial systems

Publications: Anderl’s 2025 article in the Journal of Chemical Ecology investigates ketone-based defense mechanisms in millipedes, reflecting his focus on bioactive compounds and their ecological roles.

Collaborations: Recent activities include interdisciplinary work on pseudomonas-staphylococcus interactions and dopaminergic neurodegeneration, indicating partnerships across microbiology and toxicology.
