Natalie Ludwig,MSc
Ph.D. Student in Neuroimmunology at the Mannheim Center of Translational Neurosciences
Schirmer Lab
Natalie graduated with a BSc in Biomedicine and Biotechnology from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna and earned her MSc in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease from Radboud University Nijmegen. She has a longstanding interest in translational neurobiology and neuroinflammation, and previously completed research internships in the laboratory of Trevor Owens at the University of Southern Denmark and with Roberta Magliozzi at the University of Verona.
As a PhD student, Natalie focuses on decoding immune–glial cell interactions that drive compartmentalized inflammation in progressive neuroinflammatory diseases. She is a member of the School of Translational Medicine at the Medical Faculty Mannheim (STMM) and is supported by the DFG Priority Programme SPP 2395 (Local and Peripheral Drivers of Microglial Diversity and Function). Her work integrates advanced imaging, molecular profiling, and computational approaches to map cellular networks and identify potential therapeutic targets.
