Marie Möser
Student Assistant
Marie has a Bachelor’s degree in Life Science Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences (HTW Berlin) and is currently doing her Master’s in Life Science Engineering from the HTW in Berlin.
Marie supports multiple research projects and keeps everything organized in the lab.

Malthe Skytte Nordentoft
Visitor PhD Student
Malthe studied physics at the University of Copenhagen and is now a PhD fellow at the Bio-complexity group at the Niels Bohr institute in Denmark. He is mainly interested in the appliance of dynamical systems theory on different subjects spanning bicycle traffic to neurons. As a visitor in the Granada lab he is working on several projects combining theory and experiment.

Sofia Peso
Master Student
Sofia studied Biology at the Complutense University of Madrid and is currently finishing her Master’s in Biophysics at the Autónoma University of Madrid. Her project in the lab involves understanding the role of cyclic non-genetic cellular states in determining individual cellular responses.

Carolin Ector
PhD Student
Carolin studied Biology at the Julius-Maximilians University of Würzburg and did her Masters in Molecular Life Science at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. Her project focuses on understanding how cell-intrinsic factors regulate the treatment response in triple negative breast cancer.

Marlena Kuhn
Student Assistant
Marlena finished her Bachelors in Life Science Engineering at HTW Berlin and is now starting her Masters in Biotechnology at TU Berlin.
Marlena supports multiple research projects and keeps everything organized in the lab.

Nica Gutu
PhD Student
Nica studied Theoretical Physics at the University of Barcelona and did her Masters in Engineering Physics at Polytechnic University of Catalonia, in Spain. Her Bachelor and Master theses were within the fields of Biophysics and Computational Biology. Her project focuses on developing computational and modelling approaches to study the dynamics of drug responses in cancer treatment.

Adrián E. Granada
Principal Investigator
Adrián studied physics at the University of Buenos Aires and did his PhD in Biophysics at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin followed by a postdoctoral training at the department of Systems Biology from Harvard Medical School with Prof. Galit Lahav. Afterwards, he gained an independent research fellow position at the IRI for the Life Sciences in Berlin. Since spring 2020, he is research group leader at the Charité Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Henri Poincaré
Lab spiritual guide
Henri, the father of topology and Chaos theory, studied mathematics at the École Polytechnique in Paris and later completed his studies at the École des Mines. Afterwards, Henri did his Doctorate in Science in mathematics at the University of Paris. More about his work in Wikipedia and BBC.
