Marc Sieber

Dr. Marc Sieber is affiliated with the Department of Systematic Zoology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich. His research focuses on neuroanatomy and comparative physiology in vertebrates, particularly fish and turtles. He holds a PhD from LMU Munich (2018) and a diploma in Biology (2008).

His doctoral work involved 3D reconstruction of anchovy brains and retinal projections, using advanced imaging techniques like 2-photon microscopy. His diploma thesis investigated metabolic changes and organ size adaptations in turtles following feeding. Recent contributions include the 2022 publication Marine Microworlds, exploring marine ecosystems.

He has worked at LMU Munich since 2003, including roles in animal care and research support. His expertise spans histological analysis, evolutionary biology, and neuroanatomical modeling. Current research integrates computational methods with comparative vertebrate anatomy to understand sensory systems and evolutionary adaptations.
