Dr.
After studying Chemistry in Erlangen with a one-year stint in the Weck group at NYU, JB graduated from the lab of Ivana Ivanovic-Burmazovic in 2010. Interested in biology, he joined the lab of Dirk Trauner at LMU Munich, obtaining his PhD in 2014 and pursuing his endeavours with Kai Johnsson, first at EPFL, then at the Max Planck for Medical Research in Heidelberg. He joined the FMP in 2020 as a Junior Group Leader in Chemical Biology.
