Falk Schlaudraff , Dr.
Falk Schlaudraff was born in Lüneburg, Germany. After his Master in Molecular Life Science at the University of Lübeck, where he also absolved the undergraduate studies of Computer Science, he moved to Marburg (Phillipps-University Marburg, Germany) and later to Ulm (University of Ulm, Germany), where he worked on and finished his Ph.D. thesis on Parkinsons Disease at the Laboratory of Prof. Birgit Liss. Afterwards he worked as Scientist R&D for Qiagen (Hilden, Germany), before he started at Leica Microsystems as Product Manager in May 2011.

Correlation of Phenotype and Genotype – microscopic samples and their biomolecular backgrounds
Seeing is believing, this is what makes microscopes, imaging systems, or box-type imagers so important for researchers in many different fields like pathology research, cancer research, neuroscience,…Read article
Workflows & Protocols: Plant Laser Microdissection
During Leica workshops for LMD users in Brazil, hosted by the Federal University of Paraná/UFPR (UFPR) at the Centro de Energia Nuclear na Agricultura/USP (CENA), the power of laser microdissection…Read article
Workflows & Protocols: Laser Microdissection for Pathology and Cancer Research
Tumor development results from mutations in our DNA. For their deeper analysis, cancer researchers have to dissect the relevant tissue areas. Here we report the reason why laser microdissection is a…Read article
Workflows & Protocols: Connecting Microscopy and Molecular Biology in Neuroscience
The main topic during this course was how to apply laser microdissection in neuroscience. Leica specialists demonstrated why laser microdissection is a suitable techniques for brain investigation as…Read article
Workflows & Protocols: How to Isolate Individual Chromosomes with Laser Microdissection
During the first Leica Workshop in Brazil, at the Centro de Energia Nuclear na Agricultura/USP (CENA), the participants learned how to prepare samples for laser microdissection (LMD) using a cryotome.…Read article
Workflows & Protocols: How to Use a Leica Laser Microdissection System and Qiagen Kits for Successful RNA Analysis
Laser Microdissection (LMD) allows isolating individual cells or chromosomes and is a well established technique for sample preparation prior downstream analysis of the nucleic acid content via PCR or…Read article
The Basic Principles of Laser Microdissection
In contrast to other systems which use a fixed laserfocus for dissection, Leica Microsystems' LMD systems guide the laserfocus for dissection. This unique feature allows highly precise laser…Read article
The Morbus Parkinson Puzzle
A characteristic sign of M. Parkinson is the deterioration of dopaminergic neurons in the mid-brain, specifically in the substantia nigra (SN, black substance). Different causes and forms of this…Read article
K-ATP Channels in Dopamine Substantia Nigra Neurons Control Bursting and Novelty-induced Exploration
Phasic activation of the dopamine (DA) midbrain system in response to unexpected reward or novelty is critical for adaptive behavioral strategies. This activation of DA midbrain neurons occurs via a…Read article
