DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dorothea Fiedler \, Director at Leibniz-Institut für
  Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP)\, Berlin\, Germany.\nBio: Dorothea grew up
  in the most beautiful city in Germany: Hamburg. She went to college at th
 e University of Wuerzburg and did her Diploma work at UC Berkeley. She dec
 ided she liked the United States for many reasons that include Thanksgivin
 g (and also German beers are overrated)\, so she stayed at Berkeley for he
 r Ph.D. She worked in the Raymond and Bergman labs\, studying host-guest s
 ystems and their application to catalysis. She then moved across the Bay t
 o UCSF\, where she joined the Shokat lab to investigate signal transductio
 n pathways. She started her academic career at Princeton University but re
 cently relocated to the FMP\, Berlin.\nProf. Fiedler's group seeks to deve
 lop a better understanding of the multiple ways in which nature utilizes p
 hosphate in both protein signaling cascades and metabolic networks.  Spec
 ifically her research focuses on the following areas:\n1) Signaling functi
 ons of inositol pyrophosphate messengers in metabolic disorders\n2) The ro
 le of inorganic phosphate in cancer metabolism and metastasis\n3) Activity
  based probes for profiling serine-threonine phosphatases in cancer progre
 ssion\nCommon to all projects is a multi-disciplinary approach that combin
 es techniques in inorganic and organic chemistry\, chemical genetics and g
 enetics\, molecular biology and proteomics.
