Macek

Macek is a Full Professor of Quantitative Proteomics and Director of the Proteome Center Tuebingen at the University of Tübingen, Germany. His research focuses on integrative proteomics, mitochondrial biology, bacterial physiology, and autophagy mechanisms. He holds a Doctorate in Biology from the University of Münster and a Diploma in Molecular Biology from the University of Zagreb.

Key research interests include:

• Quantitative proteomics of cellular systems
• Mitochondrial dynamics and quality control
• Bacterial antibiotic production and resistance
• Host-pathogen interactions
• Cyanobacterial metabolism and circadian rhythms

His work spans from fundamental biological processes to clinical applications such as precision medicine and cancer immunotherapy. Notable contributions include discoveries in Parkin-mediated mitophagy, antibiotic production regulation in Streptomyces, and AI-driven proteomic analysis.

Macek has directed the Proteome Center Tuebingen since 2014, fostering collaborations across disciplines. His lab employs advanced proteomic techniques combined with computational biology to address complex biological questions.
