Katrin Paeschke She received her Ph.D in 2006 from the University of Witten Herdecke. During her thesis she shed light on the question how of telomere binding proteins regulate G-quadruplex (G4) structures during the cell cycle. This work was done under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Hans-J Lipps und Dr. Daniela Rhodes. She subsequently did her postdoctorate research at Princeton University with Prof. Dr. Virginia Zakian where she studied the role of Pif1 helicase at G-quadruplex DNA structures during DNA replication. Currently in her lab she uses S. cerevisiae and human cell lines to understand the biological function of G-quadruplex structures and how this is connected to genome stability.
