Prof. Dr. med. Eveline Baumgart-Vogt ----------------------- Current Positions: ----------------------- Director, Chairperson and Full Professor for Anatomy and Cell Biology, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany - http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/anat Director, Giessen Graduate Centre for the Life Sciences (GGL), Justus Liebig University http://www.uni-giessen.de/ggl Director, Preclinical Examination Office in Medicine and Dentistry "Hessisches Landesprüfungs- und Untersuchungsamt im Gesundheitswesen (HLPUG)" https://www.uni-giessen.de/fbz/fb11/studium/lpa ----------------------- Research Topics: Peroxisomes and Mitochondria in Biology and Medicine - Oxidative Stress - Lipotoxicity ----------------------- Characterization of the organelles in different cell types and organs, molecular pathogenesis of organ defects induced by peroxisomal deficiency, mitochondrial dysfunction induced by peroxisomal deficiency, characterization of alterations induced by disruption of individual peroxisomal metabolic and biogenesis pathways, alteration of peroxisomes in different human diseases, contribution of peroxisomal metabolism to the pathogenesis of different human diseases (e.g. metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fibrosis, osteoporosis, neurodegeneration, chronic inflammation), influence of peroxisomal metabolic pathways on other cell organelles and signal transduction pathways (e.g. PPARs, Nrf2). We are using different knockout and transgenic mouse models, siRNA and shRNA in primary cells and cell lines to study the above mentioned subjects. We have very good expertise in most microscopical techniques (brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, Nomarski, CLSM, LCM) and morphological labelling methods ( including ultracryo-immunoelectron microscopy), cell and molecular biological as well as biochemical techniques for organelle characterization. --------------------------------------------------------- Former Presidentships and Board Member: --------------------------------------------------------- - Anatomische Gesellschaft - http://www.anatomische-gesellschaft.de - European Federation for Experimental Morphology - http://www.efem.eu - International Federation of Associations of Anatomists - http://www.ifaa.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- Expert and Medical Specialist in Anatomy: -------------------------------------------------------- since 2013 - Expert and Trainer for Anatomists (Dissection for Anatomists, Präparieren für Anatomen) http://anatomische-gesellschaft.de/index.php?id=tutoren-pfa since 2009 - NKLM - National Competence-based Syllabus in Medicine and Dentistry Work Package 12: Principles of Normal Structure and Function https://gesellschaft-medizinische-ausbildung.org/nklmnklz.html since 2007 - IMPP - Institute for Medical and Pharmaceutical Examinations Reviewer Panel for M1-State Examinations in Medicine - https://www.impp.de/internet/de/ . 2006 State Board Certified Specialist in Anatomy (Fachärztin in Anatomie, LÄK Hessen) . 2006 Certified Anatomist (Fachanatomin, Anatomische Gesellschaft) . 1998 PD Dr. med. - German Habilitation and Venia legendi in Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Heidelberg - Thesis: Lipid metabolism in peroxisomes.
