Natalie Taege

Natalie Taege is beginning her postdoctoral research at the Institute of Experimental Endocrinology as part of the M03 project, where she will be focusing on the molecular mechanisms of metabolic alterations caused by the deficiency of the androgen receptor or lack of androgen production. She is completing her Ph.D. in Epigenetics and Metabolism from the University of Lübeck as part of the RTG Adipocyte Brain Crosstalk, where her dissertation explored the fat depot and adipocyte specific epigenetic regulation of leptin gene expression in lean and obesity. From 2013 - 2020, Natalie completed her Master's degree in Molecular Life Science at the University of Lübeck. Natalie's research interests lie within the field of metabolism, in particular in obesity and epigenetics as well as the metabolic complications arising from hormone dysregulation.
