Team

Peter is the leader of the Research Group "Cytoskeletal Dynamics in Oocytes" and is head of the Light Microscopy Facility. Peter studied biology, completed his PhD at EMBL in Heidelberg, followed by postdoctoral work at IMP, Vienna. He started his independent career as group leader at EMBL, from where he moved to the MPI in Göttingen in 2018. His research focuses on oocyte meiosis using quantitative live-cell imaging assays. Additionally, he coordinates and is responsible for the strategic development of the Facility, and he supports Facility users in sample preparation and experimental design.

Antonio manages the Light Microscopy Facility at the Fassberg site. He has a background in biophysics and provides support for standard microscopy techniques as well as for super-resolution and FCS, and he is an expert in data analysis. Antonio is involved in several collaborative image and data analysis projects and in the development of automated data acquisition workflows.

Pooja employs a combination of molecular and microscopy based techniques to dissect the mechanisms underlying the timely synthesis of proteins necessary for the formation of a haploid egg.

Felix uses super-resolution microscopy methods to study molecular dynamics of actin filament assembly in living cells.

Jasmin is a technician in the Research Group and additionally supports cell sorting (FACS) in the Facility. She manages laboratory organization, takes care of the cell culture room, and is the primary contact for users of flow cytometry and FACS equipment.
