Lab Members

Juliane Glaser 🇫🇷, Group leader (since 2025)

Juliane studied Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Paris-Cité University (France). During her Ph.D under the supervision of Deborah Bourc'his (Institut Curie, Paris), she focused on the epigenetic regulation and physiological impact of genomic imprinting. 

She then moved to Berlin to work at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics with Stefan Mundlos. There, as an independent HFSP postdoctoral fellow, she investigated the importance of the non-coding genome in the context of developmental diseases. Her early postdoc work identified how changes at the level of the 3D genome affect the usage of regulatory elements, causing a human congenital malformation. She then got fascinated with how retrotransposon insertion can affect embryo formation and identified a yet unexplored mechanism linking the expression of a retrotransposon to a congenital limb malformation.  

In 2024, Juliane was appointed as a Group Leader at the MPI-IE, and her lab opened in March 2025. Read more.
