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.

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.

Timo Kopp got his bachelor's degree in Biology at the Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz, where he was especially interested in molecular genetics. Accordingly, he did his bachelor's thesis at the Department of Organismic and Molecular Evolutionary Biology, where he characterized a protein of unknown function. He then continued to earn his master's degree in Biomedicine, where he focused on immunology. Due to his growing interest for this field of research, he decided to do his master's thesis at the Department of Dermatology of the University Medical Centre, in which he investigated the influence of coagulation factors on the differentiation of macrophages from monocytes.

After his M.Sc., Timo joined the group of Prof. Robert Feil, where he did his PhD. Here, his research focuses on pressure induced cGMP signalling in vascular smooth muscle cells.
