Portrait of Andreas Moor

Andreas Moor

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.

Portrait of Srivathsan Adivarahan

Srivathsan Adivarahan

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

Portrait of Costanza Borrelli

Simona Baghai Sain

Keyboard tickler studying single-cell transcriptomics of in vivo CRISPR screens. Windmill-fighting entropy with post-its while brewing coffee.

Portrait of Jan Michler

Jan Michler

On the hunt for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Loving Basel for swimming in the Rhein, eating fondue and learning to ski!

 

 

Portrait of Jonas Kretz

Jonas Alexander Kretz

Interested in spatial transcriptomics and mechanics (If it's broken it can be fixed!), guitars and beer engineering.

Portrait of Elena Guido Vinzoni

Elena Guido Vinzoni

Studying how mRNA localises within cells. Still searching for the answer to everything, which might not necessarily be 42.

Portrait of Marcel Pohly
