André Guendel, born in 1987, graduated from the Technical University of Dresden (Germany) with a degree in process engineering and biotechnology. While at university, he began to focus on method development and optimization while working in different scientific fields, from sea water pollution studies and physicochemical analysis at IRIS Biomiljø (Norway) to biotechnological aroma production at the Leibniz University of Hannover and the Technical University of Dresden. Since December 2013 he has been working in the RG Assimilate Allocation and NMR (AAN) at IPK Gatersleben.
Leitmotif
“Technologies give us access to knowledge, so let’s fire up the engines and do some science.”
Focus
At IPK Gatersleben André Guendel is focusing on method development for the chemometric analysis of plant composition and the automation of imaging-based analytical approaches. The wide range of scientific backgrounds allowed him to acquire expertise in various complex analytical technologies covering Infrared and NMR spectroscopy as well as chromatography, creating a high level technical understanding of how data is created and what information can be extracted out of it. He aims to uncover more insights into the inner workings of plant life in his future PhD work at IPK.

Quantitative mapping of metabolite distribution has widespread applications in medicine and biology, but has remained a key analytical challenge. A novel method for sugar imag-ing in (…)
The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been making ripples in the scientific community ever since its mechanisms were proposed in 2012. Commonly referred to as a genome editing tool, many scientists have found different applications for the scissor-like properties of the Cas9-protein. Researchers from ... more
A ten-nation consortium has reported the first high-quality reference genome sequence of barley, a cereal crop that is used around the world as animal fodder. Moreover, malted barley grains are the raw material for popular beverages such as beer and whiskey. The barley genome was sequenced ... more
Infrared visualization of sucrose in plants
Quantitative mapping of metabolite distribution has widespread applications in medicine and biology, but has remained a key analytical challenge. A novel method for sugar imag-ing in plants based on the principles of infrared spectroscopy, which was developed at the IPK-Gatersleben, allows ... more
Lyudmilla Borisjuk, studied microbiology and biochemistry at the T. Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Kiev, Ukraine), received her PhD in mycology and her qualification as a professor (“habilitation”) in plant physiology at the Leibniz-University Hannover.
