Marlen Knobloch, PhD (she/her/hers)

University of Lausanne, Switzerland, Switzerland

Stem Cell Reports Author
Marlen Knobloch has been trained as a neurobiologist, obtaining her PhD with Prof. Nitsch at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, where she developed a novel mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease and contributed to a new immunization approach.

Her postdoctoral work with Prof. Jessberger at ETH/ University of Zürich focused on the metabolic requirements of adult neural stem cells. Her work has uncovered an important mechanism how lipid metabolism controls neural stem cell activity.

In 2017, Marlen Knobloch obtained an assistant professorship at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland and has been promoted to associate professor in 2023. She and her team are studying how metabolism regulates neural stem cell behaviour, with a specific focus on lipid metabolism and the lipid storing organelles called lipid droplets.
