Dr Kristina Endres is head of the biochemical laboratory of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany). She started her interest in biomedical research as a laboratory assistant in the pharmaceutical industry; her doctoral studies examined substrates of Alzheimer disease-relevant proteases. Following this, she worked as a Post-Doctoral researcher within the frame of NGFN (national genome research network) on therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease, targeting the alpha-secretase ADAM10.
Dr Ulrich Schmitt is head of the behavioural pharmacology lab as a part of the translational psychiatry group of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany). He became interested in behavioural neuroscience during his doctoral studies regarding the functional recovery after traumatic CNS injury at the Universities of Munich, Magdeburg and Kansas City. Subsequently, as a Post-Doctoral researcher, he established the behavioural pharmacology lab at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy using several mouse models e.g. for changes of BBB function and for Alzheimer’s disease.
