Dr. Marc van Oostrum currently leads an SNSF Ambizione project hosted in Prof. Peter Scheiffele’s laboratory at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. His research focuses on spatial proteomics to unravel the molecular organization and diversity of neuronal synapses. Marc completed his Master’s in Biochemistry at ETH Zürich, where he conducted his thesis research in Prof. Paola Picotti’s lab. He pursued his PhD at the Institute for Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zürich under Prof. Bernd Wollscheid, specializing in cell surface and spatial proteomics. His postdoctoral work  in Prof. Erin Schuman’s lab at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt am Main explored the molecular diversity of synapses.
