Biography
Andreas Mayer studied biology and chemistry at the University of Munich. In 1995 he obtained a PhD from the same university for studies on protein translocation into mitochondria in the laboratory of Walter Neupert. After postdoctoral studies on organelle inheritance and fusion with William Wickner at Dartmouth Medical School, Andreas Mayer joined the Friedrich-Miescher-Laboratorium of the Max-Planck-Society as a group leader in 1997. In 2003 the group moved to the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Lausanne, continuing its work on the mechanism of membrane fusion and on microautophagic membrane dynamics.
