Principal Investigator
Andreas trained in medicine and received his medical license from the University of Bern, Switzerland. In 2010 he obtained an MD in medical oncology from the University of Bern and in 2014 a PhD in molecular cancer research from EPFL. After a postdoctoral fellowship in the Itzkovitz lab at the Weizmann Institute in Israel, he joined the University of Zurich as SNSF Eccellenza Professor and founded the Moor lab at the beginning of 2019. In June 2020 the lab moved to the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) at ETH Zurich and Andreas was appointed as tenure-track assistant professor of Systems Physiology.
Scientist, Lab Manager
A big time molbio geek. Always on the quest for the proper technology for the right question. Strong advocate of hypothesis-driven reasoning.
Lab technician
To convert from economics to science, to bath in the Swiss-Moroccan Tagine made with family, sport, friends.
Project Manager and Scientific Writer
Former mouse surgeon turned desk jockey, but still looking for balance in everything. Believes in the Five P’s of Preparation and likes to put even the tiniest tasks in a calendar.
Scientific Assistants
Postdocs
Research on spatial-transcriptomics. Finding the way RNA finds its way. Photographer of tiny things, traveler and (South) Korean.
Immunologist originally from Poland, dissecting spatial niches within pancreatic cancer to identify its vulnerabilities, experiencing the world through travelling and getting to know different cultures, reflecting through photography, painting and dancing.
Having experienced many different omics analyses, now tackling computational challenges in spatial and single cell transcriptomics. Enjoys all kind of puzzles, and always accepts cookies; both virtually and physically.
Love RNA. Interested in figuring out how they dress up and move around to end up where they do. From India, so an obvious passion for music and food.
PhD students
Roman technoid based in Zurich. CRISPRing and smFISHing for early events in metastatic seeding.
Keyboard tickler studying single-cell transcriptomics of in vivo CRISPR screens. Windmill-fighting entropy with post-its while brewing coffee.
On the hunt for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Loving Basel for swimming in the Rhein, eating fondue and learning to ski!
Jonas Alexander Kretz
Interested in spatial transcriptomics and mechanics (If it's broken it can be fixed!), guitars and beer engineering.
Studying how mRNA localises within cells. Still searching for the answer to everything, which might not necessarily be 42.
Physician turned researcher, interested in all things related to lymphoma. Will try to consolidate snowboarding and cross-country skiing with living in Basel.
