Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), Germany
Prof. Dr. Magdalena Götz, Director of the Institute of Stem Cell Research at the Helmholtz Center Munich and Chair of Physiological Genomics at the Biomedical Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Martinsried/Munich, studied Biology and did her PhD on the mechanisms of how input connections to the cerebral cortex form during development and how specific neuronal subtypes are specified. Later, she started her own lab at the Max-Planck Institute for Neurobiology and made the breakthrough discovery that radial glial cells are neural stem cells. This inspired her to attempt turning also mature glial cells into neurons which she has now developed towards human glia to neuron conversion. Her latest breakthrough discovery is organellar heterogeneity as key mechanism in development and reprogramming.
