Dr. Michael Kiebler

Biography

Michael Kiebler is a Full Professor at the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the Biomedical Center of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, specializing in RNA localization in the central nervous system. His research focuses on RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and RNA transport. Kiebler's lab investigates the roles of RBPs in local translation and synaptic function, particularly how they contribute to learning and memory. His scientific journey includes significant positions such as a full professorship in Neuronal Cell Biology at the Medical University of Vienna and a group leader role at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology. He holds a PhD in Biochemistry from LMU Munich, where he studied under the guidance of Walter Neupert. His collaboration and research initiatives aim to elucidate the mechanisms through which RBPs affect neurogenesis and reprogramming, contributing to our understanding of cognitive processes.
