Cell scientist to watch – Stefanie Redemann
ABSTRACT Stefanie Redemann studied Biology at Darmstadt Technical University, followed by a Master's at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany. She then pursued a PhD in the labs of Tony Hyman and Jonathon Howard at the Max Planck Institute of Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, where she investigated the role of the actomyosin cortex in force generation and spindle positioning. After obtaining her doctorate degree in 2009, she joined the lab of Thomas Müller-Reichert at the Medical Theoretical Center in Dresden to work on reconstructing the mitotic spindle using electron tomography. Stefanie started her independent research group in 2018 at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, where she is using interdisciplinary approaches to study spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitosis and meiosis.
