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, to do his PhD. Here, his research focuses on pressure induced cGMP signalling in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Shahzad Munir completed his Bachelor in Biological Sciences at the University of Heidelberg where he demonstrated a potential interaction betwenn ERM protein family members and membrane-bound activated leucocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) which plays a crucial role in axonal guidance and pathfinding during development. Continuing his studies at the University of Heidelberg, he characterized a novel zeolite-based monoaminergic sensor, which culminated into his Master thesis. His interest in fundamental neuroscience research led him to join the group of Dr. Hannes Schmidt to investigate the functional relevance of CNP-induced cGMP signalling in the hippocampus.
Daniel Pinto Quintero

Daniel Pinto Quintero obtained his Bachelor's degree in Human biology from Phillips University in Marburg where he developed a special interest in tumor biology. During his Bachelor thesis, he investigated the aberrant expression pattern of GAPDH on salivary gland tumors. Following his interest in biomedical research, he then continued his Master studies in Human biology at the University of Marburg. For his Master thesis, Daniel was working in a radiation oncology laboratory investigating a putative detrimental role of serum amyloid A limiting the success of radiotherapy in head and neck cancer.
Daniel has now joined the laboratory of Prof. Robert Feil, where he focuses on the investigation of the relationship between shear stress and cGMP signaling in platelets. In the future, this might lead to improved treatment options for patients with blood clotting disorders (thrombosis).
