Lab Members

Felix is a Junior Group Leader at the DRFZ, where he heads the Laboratory of Inflammatory Control. He obtained his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Merkenschlager (Imperial College London, UK) where he analysed the role of 3D genome organisation in macrophage and neuronal gene regulation. During his postdoctoral work with Prof. Felix Meissner (UKB, Germany) he identified strain-specific genetic differences that alter the murine inflammatory response. His lab at the DRFZ is focused on expanding into human biology and understanding how genetic variation can influence the human immune response and the development of auto-inflammatory diseases.

He lives at home in Berlin with his husband and two cats (Paco & Romy).
