Welcome
Dr. Hannes Mutschler is new Extraordinary CeNS member
Hannes Mutschler is an independent research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried. He received an M.Sc. (Diplom) in biophysics from the Humboldt University of Berlin and a Ph.D. on programmed cell-death in bacteria from the Max Planck Institute of Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. For his postdoc on origins of life research, he joined Phil Holliger's lab at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK where he studied RNA catalysis in frozen environments. In 2016, he started his own lab at the MPI of Biochemistry as part of the MaxSynBio consortium. His current research interests include bottom‐up synthetic biology including cell‐free protein synthesis as well as RNA catalysis and replication. In 2018, he was awarded with an ERC Starting grant.
