Networking and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer
Associated YR ProjectsAssociated Young Researchers Projects
Networking and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer are essential to encourage research cooperations. Besides the promotion of junior scientists within the context of their doctorate or a research project, the Hector Fellow Academy offers the opportunity to become part of the Hector Fellow Academy to doctoral students and PostDocs in the working groups of the Hector Fellows. Being part of the Associated Young Researcher Program, they can participate in numerous continuing education courses as well as at networking events, symposia or conferences. In order to be accepted as an Associated Young Researcher, they require the consent of the mentoring Hector Fellow.

From mitochondrial genotypes to phenotypes with single-cell multi-omics
Pauline Kautz – Hector RCD Awardee Leif Ludwig
Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are associated with a wide range of human disorders, yet it has been difficult to reliably establish mitochondrial genotype-phenotype associations. Therefore, we aim to integrate metabolic profiling readouts with single-cell multi-omics sequencing techniques to characterise the consequences of pathogenic mtDNA mutations and increased mitochondrial mutational burden at the cellular and genomic level.
