Professor Michael Schrader serves as Professor of Cell Biology & Cytopathology in the Department of Biosciences at the University of Exeter, UK, where he leads the Cellular & Chemical Biology research group and the Schrader Lab.
His academic background includes:
- PhD in Cell Biology from the University of Heidelberg (1996)
- Diploma in Biology from the University of Bielefeld (1991)
- Habilitation in Cell Biology from the University of Marburg (2002)
Dr. Schrader's research focuses on molecular mechanisms of peroxisome biogenesis, dynamics, and function in mammalian cells. He investigates how peroxisomes regulate metabolic pathways including hydrogen peroxide metabolism, fatty acid beta-oxidation, and ether phospholipid synthesis, with direct implications for oxidative stress, ageing, and neurodegenerative disorders. His work utilizes peroxisome-targeted fluorescent proteins and biochemical isolation techniques to study organelle plasticity and inter-organellar communication.
No scientific awards were documented in the source materials. His laboratory contributes to the Exeter Brain research network and maintains active collaborations through the Zellweger UK Spalding Gentlemen's Society.
He teaches molecular cell biology and biomedical aspects while supervising graduate students, though specific advisees and grant details were not provided in the available documentation.
