Dr. Mathias Müsken

Mathias Müsken studied molecular biotechnology at Bielefeld University from 2000 to 2006. Even then, he was focusing on the field of microbiology, in this case the investigation of the proteome of Corynebacterium jeikeium. As an ERASMUS student, he also had the opportunity to study at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. 2006, in the year the HZI was founded, he began his doctorate in Braunschweig, which took him back to Stockholm for six months, this time to the Karolinska Institute. Microscopy had long been a central part of his work, and the microscopic methods for the quantitative analysis of bacterial biofilms established in his doctoral thesis still accompany him today. He then worked as a postdoc in the department “Molecular Bacteriology” at Twincore in Hannover, where he attempted to optimize old antibiotics for the treatment of biofilms and identify new biofilm-active substances in large-scale screens. In 2017, he returned to the HZI and the Central Facility for Microscopy. Mathias Müsken took over this position in 2021 and has since been responsible for managing the platform. In addition to his many years of experience in the field of live cell microscopy, he is an expert in the electron microscopy techniques offered.
