Marina Mikhaylova
Marina Mikhaylova started her scientific career at the Bashkir State University in Ufa, Russia, where she studied Biology until 2004. After obtaining her degree she moved to Germany where she finished her PhD in 2010 at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. Her next step was the Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg where she stayed as a postdoc until 2012 and left for the Utrecht University where she stayed as an EMBO-LTF and Marie-Curie IEF postdoctoral fellow until 2015. In 2015 she received the opportunity to head her own junior research group at the Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf due to funding from the Emmy Noether-Program by the Germany Research Foundation (DFG). She is now at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as Professor for Optobiology since 2020 and a tenured professor since 2025.
