Bio

Volker Haucke is Director of the Leibnitz Institute for Molecular Pharmacology, Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at the Free University Berlin as well as a faculty member of the Charité University for Medicine Berlin. In 2003, he received the Young Investigator Award of the European Molecular Biology Organization, where he also became an Elected Member in 2014. Haucke‘s research revolves around the molecular mechanisms of exo-endocytosis and endolyososomal membrane dynamics and its role in cell signaling, especially in the nervous system. This also involves using the new-found insights to develop treatments for diseases linked to these processes.
