Early life and education

edit

Endesfelder was born on 4 July 1983.[4] From 2002 to 2008, she studied Physics, Astronomy, and Microbiology at the University of Bonn in Bonn, Germany and Stony Brook University, NY, USA. In 2012, she earned her Ph.D. in Physics at the Department of Applied Laser Physics and Laser Spectroscopy at Bielefeld University, Germany.[2][5]

Career and research

edit

For her postgraduate work, Endesfelder worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Biotechnology and Biophysics, University of Würzburg (2012/13) and at the Department of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Goethe University Frankfurt (2013/14).

Between 2014 and 2020, Endesfelder was a Group Leader at the Department of Systems and Synthetic Microbiology at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany.

Subsequently, Endesfelder relocated to the United States to work as an Associate Professor (tenure track) at the Department of Physics at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA between 2020 and 2021.[6]

Since 2021, Endesfelder has been a Full Professor (W3) at the Institute for Microbiology & Biotechnology at the University of Bonn, Germany.

Endesfelder's group uses tailored quantitative single-molecule tracking and structural super-resolution microscopy methods to understand molecular processes in cells.[7] They are particularly keen on exploring microbial cell biology using fluorescence microscopy and biophysical methods.[8]

Endesfelder is a well-known microscopist and biophysicist.[9][10][11][12][13] Hence, she is frequently invited to speak at workshops [14][15] and conferences[16][17] in the field.

Since 2021, Endesfelder has been an associate editor of Biophysical Reports,[18] an open-access journal run by the Biophysical Society.
