Postdoctoral Researcher @ MPI of Colloids and Interfaces, Department of Sustainable and Bio-inspired Materials
Dr. Tobias Priemel is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Sustainable and Bio-inspired Materials, headed by Prof. Silvia Vignolini, at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. Tobias started his academic career at University Potsdam where he did his bachelor in Life Sciences and his Master in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. For his Master thesis he joined the lab of Matthew J Harrington, then located at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces, where he started to dive into material science research working on marine mussel adhesion. He continued his endeavor of mussel research during his PhD at McGill University in Canada where he joined Matt at his then newly acquired position as Professor. There he continued his research on marine mussel elucidation the formation process of mussel byssus threads. He returned to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and started his PostDoc in the department of Sustainable and bio-inspired Materials of Prof. Silvia Vignolini.
