Ines Hellmann

Dr. Ines Hellmann is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Biology, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, leading research in Anthropology and Human Genomics. Her work focuses on comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and evolutionary biology.

• Current affiliation: LMU Munich (since at least 2021)
• Research themes: Cross-species genomic comparisons, brain evolution, stem cell biology, and environmental impacts on gene regulation

Her group employs advanced technologies like single-cell RNA sequencing, CRISPRi, and computational pipelines for analyzing genomic evolution. Key projects include studying cortical folding mechanisms through TRNP1 gene analysis and exploring compensatory evolution in regulatory elements. Dr. Hellmann's lab supervises multiple PhD students and contributes to methodological developments in RNA-seq.

Notable collaborations include work with the Enard Group and technical staff at the Faculty of Biology. Current contact: hellmann@bio.lmu.de
