Marcus Conrad

Prof. Dr. Marcus Conrad is a distinguished researcher at the Helmholtz Zentrum München, where he leads the Institute of Metabolism and Cell Death. His pioneering work focuses on the mechanisms of regulated cell death, particularly ferroptosis, and its implications in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. With a strong background in biochemistry and molecular biology, Prof. Conrad has made significant contributions to understanding the interplay between metabolism and cell death pathways. His research aims to uncover novel therapeutic strategies for therapy-resistant cancers and other ferroptosis-related disorders, positioning him as a leading figure in the fields of cell biology and medicinal chemistry.
