Professor, DZNE, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Eckhard Mandelkow studied physics in Braunschweig, New Orleans, and Hamburg, and received his doctoral degree at the Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg for X-ray analysis of the structure of tobacco mosaic virus. This was followed by postdoctoral training at Brandeis University, Waltham MA (structure of cytoskeletal proteins). In 1986 he moved to the Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg, Germany, and worked as a director at the Max-Planck-Unit for Structural Molecular Biology, professor at Hamburg University, and scientific member of the Max-Planck-Society. His lab focused on structural molecular biology by X-rays using synchrotron radiation, image reconstruction in electron microscopy, cytoskeleton (microtubules, motor proteins), the structure, aggregation of tau protein and protein kinases in Alzheimer disease, development of tau aggregation inhibitors, and animal models of tau pathology (jointly with the lab of Eva-Maria Mandelkow). He is the recipient of a 2010 Metlife Award, 2011 Potamkin Award, and 2013 Alzheimer's Association Life Time Achievement Award (together with Eva-Maria Mandelkow). In 2011 he joined the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Bonn (DZNE) as a Principal Investigator where he continues to work on the role of tau in neurodegeneration.
