Margret Helene Bülow

Margret Helene Bülow is a group leader at the Clinic for Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Düsseldorf, and leads the Membrane Contact Sites & Central Biobank for Cardiac Surgery (CBBC) research group. Her work focuses on subcellular processes in neurodevelopment using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism.

• Research areas: Organelle interactions, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial dynamics.
• Key findings: ER-mitochondria contacts regulate hydrogen peroxide production for neuronal activity; peroxisomes control neuropeptide secretion via Golgi interactions.

Her recent publications highlight studies on lipid redistribution, metabolic diseases, and organelle communication in Drosophila. She collaborates with the Cure3D lab, focusing on neurodevelopmental mechanisms with organismal-level impacts.
