Hauke Werner

Prof. Hauke Werner holds the title of Adjunct Professor at the University of Göttingen and leads the Neurochemistry Group at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences. His research focuses on myelin evolution, biogenesis, and pathobiology, combining mouse genetics, molecular cell biology, and proteome analysis. Key affiliations include the Max Planck Institute's Department of Neurogenetics and the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences.

Education:

• PhD in Molecular Biology (2001, University of Heidelberg)
• Habilitation in Neurosciences (2014, University of Göttingen)

Research Interests: Myelin's molecular mechanisms, evolutionary origins, and its role in diseases like leukodystrophies. The team uses proteomics to study myelin structure-function relationships across species (humans, mice, zebrafish, lamprey).

Publications: Recent work explores myelin proteome conservation, axonal support via extracellular vesicles, and the role of CMTM proteins in myelination. These studies bridge evolutionary biology with clinical neurology.

Awards: None explicitly listed.

Grants & Labs: Manages the Neurochemistry Group at MPI-NAT and collaborates on projects like the GGNB's Cellular and Molecular Physiology of the Brain program. No grant details provided in texts.
