Florian Raible

Florian Raible is an Associate Professor at the Department of Neuroscience and Developmental Biology, University of Vienna. His research spans stem cell biology, chronobiology, and marine organism molecular biology, focusing on annelid models like Platynereis dumerilii to explore evolutionary developmental mechanisms, circadian/circalunidian clocks, and photoreceptor evolution.

• Research Focus: Stem cell lineage restrictions, light-regulated hormonal systems, and molecular rhythmicity in marine annelids
• Key Methodologies: SHInE tissue labeling, HCR hybridization, metabolomics platforms
• Recent Trends: 2024 articles emphasize annelid stem cell profiling, moonlight sensing cryptochromes, and fatty acid elongation pathways

Scientific Contributions:
• Pioneering transgenesis in Platynereis
• Establishing Platynereis as a model for circalunar clock research
• Discovering methylfarnesoate as an annelid brain hormone
