Overview

Harald Steiner is affiliated with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany, where their research primarily spans biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their work integrates a diverse range of subfields including molecular biology, physiology, law, neurology, and computational theory and mathematics.

The scientist's research covers several main topics, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach. These include Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, protein structure and dynamics, law and political science, lipid membrane structure and behavior, computational drug discovery methods, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, and machine learning in bioinformatics.

Steiner has published extensively, contributing significantly to the scientific literature in high-impact and specialized venues. Frequent publication outlets include:

  • Die Personalvertretung
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • eLife
  • Current Opinion in Neurobiology

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Steiner demonstrate a focus on neurodegenerative diseases and enzymatic processes associated with Alzheimer's disease. Notable publications include:

  • "Microbiota-derived short chain fatty acids modulate microglia and promote Aβ plaque deposition" (2021, eLife)
  • "Secretases in Alzheimer's disease: Novel insights into proteolysis of APP and TREM2" (2021, Current Opinion in Neurobiology)
