Susanne Feil studied agricultural sciences at Technische Universität München, Germany, where she also did her PhD thesis. During the PhD project at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, she established the first Tamoxifen-inducible Cre mouse line for smooth muscle tissue. This mouse line is now being used by investigators all over the world to study gene functions in smooth muscle cells. After the post doc time in Munich, she moved to Tübingen in 2006 together with her husband Robert Feil. Among other things, she is now working on temporally-controlled cell fate mapping in the mouse.

Dr. Moritz Lehners

Moritz Lehners studied biochemistry at the University of Tübingen with a focus on immunology, analytical chemistry, and cellular signaling mechanisms of the cardiovascular system. His interest in the analysis of complex signaling networks prompted him to start a PhD in the laboratory of Robert Feil. Here, he established in situ real-time cGMP imaging of healthy and atherosclerotic arteries of genetically modified mouse models to decipher the role of CNP-dependent cGMP signaling in vascular smooth muscle cell plasticity associated with atherosclerosis. During his postdoctoral tenure, Moritz will apply single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to explore the complex alterations of the cGMP signaling pathway in the development of atherosclerosis and other diseases.
