Dr. Juliane Mooz
Project Leader
Juliane Mooz was born in Berlin, Germany. She studied Biology at the Julius Maximilian University, Würzburg and obtained her diploma degree in 2007.
She has always been interested in scientific journalism, conveying information about the world of science to a public forum.
After finishing University, she had been involved in radio broadcasting, "Talking about science".
In 2009, she joined the lab of Dr. Krishnaraj Rajalingam, studying the regulation of MAPK signaling with a special focus on RAF kinases and its understudied member ARAF.
