    Ingmar Schoen, PhD (he/him/his)

    Lecturer
    RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
    Dublin, Dublin, Ireland

    Dr. Ingmar Schoen is a research lecturer in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).

    His research aims to decipher the contribution of mechanical forces to pathophysiological aspects of cellular behaviour in the context of vascular biology. To this goal, his group is using and developing advanced microscopy methods, especially super-resolution microscopy, to measure cellular forces and supramolecular structures that mediate the mechanobiology of platelets and other cells.

    Dr. Schoen graduated with a diploma in biophysics from the Technical University Munich, Germany, in 2003. He completed his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in 2006. After a short postdoc at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, he moved to ETH Zurich, Switzerland, to work as postdoc and later as honorary lecturer (‘Oberassistent’) in the Department of Health Sciences and Technologies. In 2017, he was awarded a StAR Research Lecturership from RCSI Dublin where he transitioned to a permanent post in 2021.

    Dr. Schoen held fellowships from the German Science Foundation, the Holcim Science Foundation, and a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowship from the European Research Council. His research is currently funded by Science Foundation Ireland, the Irish Blood Transfusin Service, and Octapharma. He has contributed to the establishment of the Super-Resolution Imaging Consortium at RCSI which is the leading facility for super-resolution microscopy in Ireland. He has published widely in leading multidisciplinary journals and has been an invited speaker at international seminars. He regularly reviews for scientific journals and is an Evaluation Board member for the ARISE programme at EMBL.
