Michael Jirout performed his thesis "Gating and conduction regulation of inward rectifier K+ channels" in the lab of Anna Weinzinger/Pharmacology and Toxicolog Division, University of Vienna. He spent 6 months in the Lab of Colin Nichols at Washington University of St. Louis Medical School.
Michi was a representative of the MolTag PhD students from 02/2022.
Lisa Knaus' PhD research was focused on understanding how the metabolism of the brain changes during different periods of development. Her work describes the key role of a temporary metabolic remodeling in maturing cortical neurons in vivo and will contribute to identifying novel time windows underlying the onset of neurological disorders associated with abnormal regulation of brain-relevant metabolites.
Lisa performed her PhD in the Gaia Novarino Lab at IST Austria; recently she published her findings as first author of a Cell paper.
Lisa is also part of the organizing committee of the MolTag Closing Event!
We congratulate you both and wish you all the best for your further career paths!
