Speaker bio(s)

Alwin Köhler’s research primarily focuses on the nuclear envelope, the critical boundary that emerged during the prokaryote-eukaryote transition. His work spans three main areas: 1) nuclear envelope lipid metabolism, 2) nuclear pores and membrane remodeling, and 3) chromatin regulation at the nuclear envelope. More recently, he has expanded his studies to include tardigrades—arguably the toughest creatures on Earth—in an effort to uncover the mechanisms behind their extraordinary resilience. Alwin Köhler is professor of molecular biology and scientific director of the Max Perutz Labs. He is an ERC investigator, NOMIS researcher, EMBO member, member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and a Moore Distinguished Scholar at Caltech.
