Additional information

Julia Vorholt studied biology at the Universities of Bonn and Marburg, Germany. During her PhD, she worked on the biochemistry of methanogenesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. R. K. Thauer at the Max-Planck-Institute for terrestrial Microbiology. She then moved to the laboratory of M. E. Lidstrom in Seattle, USA, as a postdoctoral fellow and subsequently returned to the MPI Marburg, Germany, where she established a research group on the biochemistry of methylotrophic bacteria. From 2001 to 2006 she led an independent Max-Planck research group at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Toulouse, France, initiating work on plant microbiomes and microbial interactions. Julia Vorholt was appointed associate professor at ETH Zurich in 2006. Since 2012, she has been a full professor at the Institute of Microbiology at ETH Zurich. Since 2020, she is Director of studies of the Department of Biology at ETH Zurich and co-director of the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) Microbiomes. She received the Otto-Hahn medal of the Max-Planck-Society, is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and received two ERC Advanced Grants, 2015 and 2020.
