Regular biography
Prof. Dr. Gabriel Neurohr is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on how cell size affects cell function, particularly in the context of cell senescence and differentiation. His lab investigates the importance of specific cell sizes and how changes in size contribute to altered cellular function. Using a combination of genetics, live cell microscopy, and quantitative transcriptomics and proteomics approaches in budding yeast and mammalian systems, his work explores the regulation of cell size and its implications for cellular homeostasis. The Neurohr Group is based at the Institute of Biochemistry, ETH Zurich.
Scholar-generated biography
Gabriel Neurohr is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Biochemistry, ETH Zurich, focusing on cellular aging and homeostasis. His research explores how excessive cell growth leads to cytoplasm dilution and contributes to senescence, with a particular emphasis on the role of size-induced senescence. He investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying genome instability, cell cycle deregulation, and the impact of environmental stress on cellular processes. Neurohr's work also includes the development of advanced imaging techniques for analyzing cellular structures such as vacuoles and mitotic chromosomes. His studies highlight the interplay between cell size, DNA replication stress, and cellular fate decisions.
