Falk Schlaudraff , Dr.
Falk Schlaudraff was born in Lüneburg, Germany. After his Master in Molecular Life Science at the University of Lübeck, where he also absolved the undergraduate studies of Computer Science, he moved to Marburg (Phillipps-University Marburg, Germany) and later to Ulm (University of Ulm, Germany), where he worked on and finished his Ph.D. thesis on Parkinsons Disease at the Laboratory of Prof. Birgit Liss. Afterwards he worked as Scientist R&D for Qiagen (Hilden, Germany), before he started at Leica Microsystems as Product Manager in May 2011.
Neuron Isolation in Spatial Context with Laser Microdissection (LMD)
After Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease. Before the first symptoms manifest, up to 70% of dopamine-releasing neurons in the mid-brain…
Deep Visual Proteomics Provides Precise Spatial Proteomic Information
Despite the availability of imaging methods and mass spectroscopy for spatial proteomics, a key challenge that remains is correlating images with single-cell resolution to protein-abundance…
