Dr. Mathias Müsken

Mathias Müsken studierte von 2000-2006 Molekulare Biotechnologie an der Universität Bielefeld. Schon in seiner Diplomarbeit lag sein Fokus auf dem Gebiet der Mikrobiologie speziell der Untersuchung des Proteoms von Corynebacterium jeikeium. Als ERASMUS-Student hatte er zudem die Möglichkeit zu einem Aufenthalt an der Königlichen Technischen Hochschule in Stockholm, Schweden. 2006, im Gründungsjahr des HZIs, begann er mit seiner Promotion in Braunschweig, die ihn noch einmal für ein halbes Jahr nach Stockholm führte, dieses Mal an das Karolinska Institut. Die Mikroskopie war zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits zentraler Bestandteil seines Wirkens. Die im Rahmen seiner Doktorarbeit etablierten mikroskopischen Verfahren zur quantitativen Analyse von bakteriellen Biofilmen begleiten ihn auch heute noch. Im Anschluss war er als Postdoc in der Abteilung „Molekulare Bakteriologie“ am Twincore in Hannover tätig und versuchte, altbewährte Antibiotika für die Behandlung von Biofilmen zu optimieren und neue Anti-Biofilm Wirkstoffe in großangelegten Screens zu identifizieren. 2017 wechselte er zurück an das HZI in die „Zentrale Einheit für Mikroskopie“. Diese Arbeitsgruppe übernahm Mathias Müsken im Jahr 2021 und ist seitdem verantwortlich für die Leitung der Plattform. Neben der langjährigen Erfahrung auf dem Gebiet der Lebendzell-Mikroskopie ist er auch der Experte für die angebotenen, elektronenmikroskopischen Verfahren.
