About Lisa Maier

Lisa Maier completed her studies in biochemistry at the University of Tübingen (2004-2009) and her PhD in the laboratory of Wolf-Dietrich Hardt at ETH Zurich (2014). As part of the interdisciplinary postdoctoral program at EMBL in Heidelberg, she worked in the groups of Nassos Typas and Kiran Patil (2015-2018). In 2019, she returned to Tübingen as CMFI and Emmy Noether junior research group leader. In April 2022, she has been appointed to the professorship ‘Microbiome-Host Interactions’ at the Faculty of Medicine/University of Tübingen.

Her lab uses automated high-throughput and multi-readout approaches to systematically study the lifestyle of bacteria in the human microbiome. The resulting datasets are then used as a starting point for mechanistic studies to uncover the molecular details of how the microbiome interacts with its host.
