Johannes Schöneberg

Johannes Schöneberg serves as Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California San Diego's School of Medicine, holding joint appointments in Chemistry & Biochemistry. His research integrates cutting-edge microscopy, computational biology, and stem cell technologies to quantitatively analyze cellular behavior in native tissue environments.

His laboratory focuses on mitochondrial dynamics and their role in neurological disorders including Parkinson's Disease and epilepsy. Key methodologies include stem cell-derived organoids, 4D adaptive optics lattice light-sheet microscopy, high-performance computing, and machine learning applications. Research spans computational modeling of cellular processes through tools like ReaDDy software to advanced image analysis techniques for tracking subcellular structures.

The group's publication record demonstrates expertise across biophysics, computational biology, and neuropharmacology, with recent work emphasizing mitochondrial network tracking and 4D cellular imaging. Though newly established at UCSD, the lab shows strong interdisciplinary connections through collaborations with microscopy pioneers like Eric Betzig.

No scientific awards are currently listed in available sources. The laboratory maintains active research in neurological disease mechanisms with emphasis on mitochondrial dysfunction pathways.

As a newly formed research group, current activities focus on establishing organoid models and advanced imaging pipelines. The lab leverages UCSD's strong infrastructure in computational biology and neuroscience research, with potential for future grant development in mitochondrial disease mechanisms and imaging technology.
