Congratulations to Matthias as he launches his independent research group!

One of our postdocs, Matthias Muhar, secured a group leader position at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany in November 2025 and will set up his own research group in “Functional genomics of proteome remodeling”. His lab will study how cells remodel their proteome during differentiation. His research will combine high-throughput genetics, proteomics, and chemical biology approaches to understand how protein homeostasis is regulated in neurons and other highly specialized cells of the human body. We wish him every success as he embarks on this next chapter and look forward to the exciting developments ahead for his new lab!
