Current and Previous Lab Members

The Südhof lab aim for an inclusive and interactive culture. Although each trainee has a separate project, we encourage collaborations among lab members and value vibrant discussions. Our environment is inherently multicultural with lab members hailing from nearly everywhere in the world. Thus, we require that people respect each others' diverse backgrounds and that they accept differences in opinion about not only scientific issues but also general questions. The Südhof lab is proud to have had more than 20 lab members who became parents while in our lab and who were among the many former lab members with subsequent successful careers in academia or industry. We greatly appreciate the contributions of everyone who has been with us and look forward to many more trainees passing through our lab.
