Dr. Aneta Koseska | Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar, Bonn | “Computational capabilities of single cells”

Since May 2020, PD Dr. Aneta Koseska is leading the Lise Meitner Research Group ‘Cellular computations and learning’. Aneta Koseska received a Diploma in applied Physics from the University in Skopje in 2003. With a fellowship from the Max Planck Research School she joined the group of J. Kurths at the University of Potsdam (2004-2007), where she obtained her PhD in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics. During her time as a postdoctoral associate at the Center for Dynamics of Complex Systems in Potsdam (2007-2011), she mainly investigated the dynamical basis of symmetry breaking phenomena. Aneta was a guest professor at the Institute of Physics at the Humbolt University Berlin, before joining the Department of P. Bastiaens at the MPI for Molecular Physiology in Dortmund in 2012, initially as a senior scientist, and since 2016 leading the group ‘Cellular cognition’. In this period, she interfaced theory of biological information processing with experimental understanding of cell signaling systems. Her interest in both disciplines is reflected through Habilitations in Theoretical Physics (University of Potsdam), as well as Chemical Biology (Technical University Dortmund).

Molecular cell biology of trypanosomes. | The current diversity in eukaryotic life has evolved from the last common eukaryotic ancestor over more than one billion years. Early in this series of events, the group of protozoa that gave rise to trypanosomes diverged from the lineage that gave rise to plants, fungi and animals. So today, trypanosomes are the result of separate evolution of molecular processes over one billion years and they have accumulated many unique and inherently interesting aspects to their biology. The aim of the lab is to determine the molecular mechanisms that underlie some of the unique aspects of the biology of trypanosomes and other related protozoa.
