Authors
Angelika Hausser
studied technical Biology at the Universi-
ty of Stuttgart. She did her PhD with Klaus
Pfizenmaier at the Institute of Cell Biology
and Immunology in Stuttgart working on
the role of protein kinase D at the Golgi
compartment and continued with these
studies during her postdoc. Since 2003 she
leads the PKD signaling group at the Ins-
titute of Cell Biology and Immunology, University of Stuttgart.
Kornelia Ellwanger
studied technical Biology at the University
of Stuttgart. For her PhD thesis and post-
doc, she joined the Lab of Angelika Hausser
in 2004 where she works on
in vivo
models
to study protein kinase D function.
From April 2015 she will join the group of
Thomas Kufer, Department of Immunology
at the University of Hohenheim.
Thomas Kufer
studied Biology in Ludwig-Maximilian Uni-
versity in Munich. He did his PhD with Erich
Nigg at the MPI in Martinsried working on
mitotic kinases. For his postdoc he went to
the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France where
he worked with Dana Philipott and Philip-
pe Sansonetti on NOD1 and NOD2. He was
then an Independent Junior Group Leader
within the SFB670 at the Institute for Medical Microbiology,
Immunology and Hygiene at the University of Cologne. Since
October 2014 he heads the department of Immunology at the
University Hohenheim.
