Get to know us better
Jörg Mansfeld
Principal Investigator
Coordinates all the projects, fights for money, and helps with more precise and careful troubleshooting. In the meantime, he tries to spread his optimism and positive attitude to all in the lab, while still juggling pipettes.
Julia Vorhauser
PhD student
Julia began her PhD when the lab was in still Dresden, and she spearheaded the move to the ICR in London. Her expertise in redox is a perfect fit for our ROS group. She previously studied ROS signalling at the cellular level at the University of Innsbruck, Austria and ROS signalling during neuronal development at the University of Cambridge, UK. In the Mansfeld Lab, she is currently investigating how intracellular ROS regulates the activity of cell cycle proteins.
Jacky Leung
PostDoc
Jacky joined the lab in London in 2022 as a member of the RadNet radiotherapy research network. His current research is investigating how protein oxidation induced by radiotherapy can regulate cellular processes and potentially influence cell fate. He received his PhD from the University of British Columbia in Canada, where he studied androgen receptor transactivation in prostate cancer. He is originally from Vancouver and is an avid yogi outside the lab.
