Wiebke Herzog Wiebke Herzog studied Biology at Freie Universität Berlin and the University of Exeter. She began working on zebrafish organogenesis during her doctoral research at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology in Freiburg. After 4.5 years as a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Francisco, she established her own research group in 2008 as a junior professor in Münster and later continued as a Heisenberg fellow. In 2020, she was appointed W3 Professor of Developmental Biology at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.
Her research focuses on vascular development, particularly cell migration mechanisms and blood–brain barrier formation. Her group primarily uses zebrafish as a model system combining genetics, molecular biology, and advanced imaging. Her teaching covers genetics, cell biology, and developmental biology in Bachelor’s, teacher training, and Master’s programs.
