							Beate Neumann
Staff Scientist, The European Molecular Biology Laboratory

Since 2004 Beate Neumann has been at EMBL, Heidelberg as the leading scientist of a
genome-wide RNAi screen in live HeLa cells using time-lapse microscopy to identify genes
which play a role in mitosis. Between 2000 and 2003 she was group leader at Cenix
BioScience GmbH, Dresden working on a Genome-wide RNAi screen in C. elegans using
time-lapse microscopy in living embryos and the establishment of new techniques in different
human cell lines to perform advanced, cell-based applications of RNA interference.
Between 1998 and 2000 she was a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Michael Pawlita at the
German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg with a topic of ‘Identification of the
LPV-receptor (B-lymphotropic papovavirus)’. From 1993 to 1998 Beate Neumann worked in
the field of developmental biology in a Drosophila research group with Prof. B. Mechler at the
German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg, where she received her diploma in
1994 and her PhD in 1997.
