Andreas Till

Biography:

Andreas Till is a dedicated cell biologist whose research focuses on cellular stress pathways associated with human diseases. He received his PhD at the University of Kiel, Germany, where he studied immunesignaling and pathogen detection. After receiving a research fellowship, he worked at the University of California San Diego where he focused on selective autophagy. Next, he joined the University of Bonn as lecturer for Molecular Biomedicine, and was later appointed lab head in the Section for Metabolic Diseases.  Over the last years, he has specialized on in vitro cell models for stress pathways such as antioxidative responses, autophagy and metabolic reprogramming. Recent projects aim to elucidate the interconnection between the gut microbiome and neural circuits regulating energy homeostasis in obesity. Dr. Till has published more than 60 papers and presented his research at several international conferences in Europe, USA, Japan and China.
