Angelika Feldmann, PhD

Angelika Feldmann studied Molecular Medicine at the University of Freiburg, Germany. For her PhD in Genetics she moved to the FMI in Basel, Switzerland, where she worked with Dirk Schübeler on the dynamics of DNA methylation at distal gene regulatory sites. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Rob Klose lab at the University of Oxford, Angelika decided to focus on the mechanisms controlling the 3D structure of the genome. During this time she developed her current research interest in how structural changes in the genome guide gene activation. Since October 2021 she is pursuing her interest as a Junior Group Leader at the DKFZ in Heidelberg, Germany.
