Dr. Ruben Fernandez-Busnadiego received his undergraduate degree in Physics from the Complutense University of Madrid. He carried out his PhD at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, investigating synaptic structure by cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Later on, as a postdoctoral fellow at the Yale School of Medicine, he studied various aspects of membrane biology in neurons. He then returned to the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry to lead a group investigating the structural links between protein aggregation and cell death in neurodegenerative diseases. Since 2019, he is a Professor at the University Medical Center Göttingen. His group continues to employ cutting edge cryo-ET to investigate in situ the structural basis of cellular function and disease-related dysfunction.
