Jana Schuettpelz
Postdoctoral Researcher |
Originally from Germany, I obtained
my B.Sc. in Biomedical Science from the VUB in Brussels,
a M.Sc. in Molecular Medicine from the University of
Göttingen and I moved to Montreal in 2018 for my Phy
academic journey, I was mostly interested in immunology,
alloD in Eric Shoubridge’s lab at the Neuro. During the
early stages of mwing me to gain a background in animal
handling and vast microscopy techniques. Starting my
PhD, I shifted perspectives from physiological questions
to more fundamental cell biology and I elucidated key
mechanisms of a mitochondrial protein associated with
neurological diseases. Therefore, I established cellular
models and optimized various cell-based assays to gain a
better understanding of the protein function of SLC25A46
in mitochondrial dynamics and its associated
pathological mechanisms. In January 2024, I began my
Post-Doc in Terry’s lab, analyzing compounds targeting
GPCRs and their effects on iPSC-derived cardiac disease
models using biosensors.
