Identification of compensatory mechanisms and disease pathways in mitochondrial disease and synucleinopathy
97 p. () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2025
Mitochondria play vital roles in a variety of processes such as cellular metabolism, intracellular signalling and cell death. Defects in mitochondria can lead to inherited metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. [...]

Omics-driven Drug Repurposing and Treatment Assessment in Human Viral Diseases
57 p. () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2025
In this cumulative thesis, I present my research on transcriptomic-based drug repurposing in human viral infections describing an optimized workflow for drug prediction, in vitro validation and in vivo studies in clinical cohorts based on three publications.In the first publication, I took lead in a larger team effort to introduce a newly designed drug repurposing approach based on whole blood transcriptomics data and drug signatures databases, which was applied to identify potential drug candidates for treatment of patients across COVID-19 severity groups stratified based on clinical parameters and transcriptomic phenotypes (Aschenbrenner et al. 2021).

A Cell Panel to Characterise Tau Aggregation
125 p. () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2024
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the pathological folding of Tau into highly ordered, !3-sheet rich fibrils (so-called amyloid), which progressively spreadthrough the central nervous system in a prion-like manner. Despite extensive research, interand intracellular prion-like Tau aggregate formation and transmission mechanisms remainunresolved. [...]

Sources of spatial tuning in the dorsal subiculum
120 pp. () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2024
Spatial navigation is an essential behavior for all moving life-forms. A main mammalian brain structure implicated in this process is the hippocampal formation. [...]

Structural and Functional Characterization of Neurotoxic Oligomers of Pro-aggregant Tau Repeat Domain
127 pages, 41 figures () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2015
Tau protein is a microtubule associated protein present abundantly in the neurons of the central nervous system where it stabilizes the axonal microtubules thereby providing structural architecture for the axons of neurons. Aggregation of Tau occurs in many neurodegenerative diseases collectively termed tauopathies including Alzheimer disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). [...]

Deep Learning for Causal Inference and Latent Dynamical Modeling in Biomedical Research
207p () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2024
Biological systems are ubiquitous, encompassing complex molecular networks governing single-cell organisms to expansive ecosystems profoundly impacting our planet's environment. In biology, the adoption of a systems approach seeks to achieve a comprehensive, quantitative understanding of living organisms comparable in some ways to the kind of understanding we have of systems in engineering and physics.

The yeast prion domain Sup35 NM models features of human neurodegenerative diseases in vivo
Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Bonn 97 p. () = Dissertation, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, 2024
In neurodegenerative diseases, such as prion diseases and Alzheimer’s disease, disease-associated proteins misfold and form amyloid deposits that progressively invade the CNS, leading to severe neurodegeneration. Accumulating evidence suggests that amyloid proteins propagate in a prion-like, self-perpetuating manner, but the mechanism of aggregate multiplication in mammals remains unclear. [...]
