Early life and education
editNorden was an undergraduate student in biochemistry at the University of Hanover.[1] She worked in the laboratory of Bettina Winckler in the Mount Sinai Health System. In 2006, Norden earned her doctorate from ETH Zurich.[1] She moved to the Institute of Physiology at the University of Cambridge.[citation needed]
Research and career
editNorden was made a group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in 2010.[2][3] She was elected to the European Molecular Biology Organization in 2020.[4]
Norden's research considers the neural processes that underpin the formation of the vertebrate eye,[5] retinal neurogenesis and lamination.[6] Nodren makes use of zebrafish as a model organism.[7] She uncovered the importance of the positions of cell nuclei in the correct formation of a retina.[7]
