Georg Ramm
Georg Ramm is a Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Imaging Scientist and a group leader in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Monash University. Georg trained as a microscopist, cell biologist, and biochemist during a PhD at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and during undergraduate and diploma degrees in Germany. At Monash University, he established the Ramaciotti Centre for Cryo-EM, which enables both cell and structural biology EM with imaging expertise in immuno EM, correlative light and electron microscopy, volume imaging, single particle cryo-EM and cryo-electron tomography. His research is using high resolution imaging by cryo-electron tomography in combination with cryo-focused ion beam milling to understand cellular architecture and intracellular trafficking. His research focuses on fundamental cell biological problems that are relevant to human diseases including the intracellular degradation of organelles by autophagy and mitophagy, mitochondrial ultrastructure and dynamics in healthy and stressed cells, and cellular structural changes during cell death.
