Professor Matthias J. Feige pursues an interdisciplinary approach to address fundamental questions in cellular protein biochemistry. His research investigates how cells control the proper structure and function of proteins, ensuring that defective proteins are recognized and degraded to prevent potential harm to the organism. His laboratory focuses on medically relevant proteins involved in the human immune and nervous systems, aiming to derive insights into the principles of cellular quality control that could ultimately lead to new biomedical and biotechnological applications. Professor Feige studied biochemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and received his doctorate from the Technische Universität München in 2009. He subsequently worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Professor Linda Hendershot at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN, USA, before being appointed as a Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Cellular Protein Biochemistry at the Department of Chemistry, Technische Universität München, in 2014.
