Jonathan studied biology at the University of Regensburg, where he received his master’s degree in 2019. In his master’s thesis, he investigated the evolution of Rab and SPIRE protein interactions in actin-mediated vesicle transport. In 2020, he started his PhD project in the Structural Bioenergetics Group and focused on the structural characterization of complex I assembly intermediates. As a Postdoctoral Researcher he now works on the mechanism of the transacylase tafazzin, a key enzyme in mitochondrial lipid metabolism.
