Timo Hinnenthal's scientific education began at the Freie Universität Berlin, where he completed his bachelor's degree in biochemistry. In his bachelor's thesis at the German Rheumatism Research Center in Berlin, he pursued his interest in immunology and focused on super-functional T helper cells in systemic lupus erythematosus. Timo then continued his studies at the University of Tübingen, where he joined the master's program in biochemistry. During a four-month research stint at the SciLifeLab in Stockholm, he started working with macrophages on a phagocytosis assay, which sparked his interest in this unique cell type. During his master's thesis at the Werner Siemens Imaging Center in Tübingen, Timo established an electroporation protocol to generate macrophages that transiently express a chimeric antigen receptor and tested their potential for cancer immunotherapy.
In May 2024, Timo joined the Feil Lab, to do his PhD. Following his passion for macrophages, Timo aims to decipher the true identity of macrophage-like cells in atherogenesis and atherosclerosis using fate-mapping.
Outside of the lab, Timo is passionate about food and cooking and likes to stay healthy with swimming and bouldering.
