Transcriptional Control of Neuronal Patterning and Differentiation in the Zebrafish Forebrain Read the full PhD thesis on ResearchGate Click Here Theresas PhD thesis in a nutshell. Or two. Theresa actually wanted to investigate a gene candidate for the development of dopamine neurons. Instead, she found strange photoreceptors in the “third […]

Authors: Theresa Schredelseker and Wolfgang Driever Journal: Frontiers in Neuroanatomy Published: 06 February 2020 https://doi.org/10.3389/fnana.2020.00003 Altmetric Score Abstract Analyses of genoarchitecture recently stimulated substantial revisions of anatomical models for the developing hypothalamus in mammalian and other vertebrate systems. The prosomeric model proposes the hypothalamus to be derived from the secondary prosencephalon, […]
Authors: Theresa Schredelseker, Florian Veit, Richard Dorsky and Wolfgang Driever Journal: Frontiers in Neuroscience Published: 03 June 2020 https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2020.00525 Altmetric Score Abstract The hypothalamus is characterized by great neuronal diversity, with many neuropeptides and other neuromodulators being expressed within its multiple anatomical domains. The regulatory networks directing hypothalamic development have been […]
Authors: Theresa Schredelseker and Wolfgang Driever Journal: Development Published: 09 July 2018 https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.163477 Altmetric Score Abstract Neuroendocrine cells in the pineal gland release melatonin during the night and, in teleosts, are directly photoreceptive. During development of the pineal complex, a small number of cells migrate leftward away from the […]
During her MSc studies in Molecular Medicine at Trinity College Dublin, Theresa was awarded a Eurolife Scholarship for Early Career Researchers to pursue her MSc thesis research abroad. She went to Karolinska Institute in Stockholm to do her Master thesis in the lab of Lars Olson at the department of […]
Theresa began her Biology degree at the University of Innsbruck in 2005, focusing on zoology and molecular biology. The program offered a hands-on approach, with Theresa rotating through various labs to gain a wide range of practical skills. In the early stages, she learned basic lab techniques—pipetting, centrifugation, and chromatography—and […]
In 2010, Theresa moved to Dublin for an MSc in Molecular Medicine at Trinity College—and the moment she set foot on campus, she was floored. Societies, clubs, the sports center, a 24/7 postgrad reading room. So much energy crammed into such a small space. It felt like stepping into an […]
Research on transcription factors in embryonic brain development and neuronal differentiation holds great promise for addressing neurodegenerative disorders. This research can contribute to deepen our underatsnding about disease pathologies and potential treatment options. Insights into Neurodegenerative Disorders Understanding the role of transcription factors in brain development provides insights into the […]
Theresa wrote and published several peer-reviewed scientific articles. Besides that, however, she is experienced in writing for a non-professional audience. During her PhD, she started the blog “The Gene of the Week” on which she regularly writes about genetics. She also authored or coauthored some articles that appeared in news […]
Besides the actual science of molecular biology and genetics, Theresa is interested in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) or Aspects (ELSA) of the Life Sciences. During her undergraduate studies in Biology and Philosophy, she took a close look on bioethical discussions, e.g. considering the beginning of life. In her […]
