PhD Thesis Theresa actually wanted to investigate a gene candidate for the development of dopamine neurons. Instead, she found strange photoreceptors in the “third eye,” drew colorful maps of the embryonic brain, and ultimately could only speculate about the reasons for her beloved zebrafish being so sluggish. Below you can […]

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 […]
Theresa was awarded the Best Poster Award at the 3rd Triregional Meeting Stem Cell and Developmental Biology Meeting in Strasbourg in 2016 for her Poster on Bsx functions in Pineal Complex Development.
During her PhD studies, Theresa was a research fellow in the BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies and the CIBSS Cluster of Excellence for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies at Freiburg University.
For her PhD studies at University of Freiburg, Theresa was awarded a fellowship within the DFG-funded Research Training Group 1104 – From Cells to Organs: Molecular Mechanisms of Organogenesis.
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 mastered basic lab techniques—pipetting, centrifugation, and chromatography—while […]
In 2010 Theresa moved to Dublin to enter a MSc program on Molecular Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. The program promised to give a structured approach to understanding human physiology and disease at a molecular level. The courses spanned topics like molecular diagnostics, gene therapy, and stem cell research, and […]
