Andreas Roos studied biology with a main focus on molecular medicine and made a PhD in Human Genetics (focusing on the identification of genes causative for the manifestation of neuromuscular diseases), both at RWTH-Aachen University (Germany). During his postdoc period at the same University, he studied the nature of muscular diseases (mainly vacuolar myopathies) by applying electron microscopy and biochemical approaches. Afterwards, he became an independent group leader at the Leibniz-Institute of Analytical Science (Dortmund, Germany) applying different proteomic techniques to study the molecular etiology of neuromuscular diseases. Afterwards he became the Scientific Officer at the John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre in Newcastle (UK) where he continued his research activities. Since 2019 Andreas is the Research Coordinator and Scientific Officer of the Department of Neuropediatrics at the University Hospital Essen (Germany) where he still applies proteomic techniques to study the etiology of neuromuscular diseases on different level including the discovery of pathomechanisms, pre-clinical testing of drugs, identification of biomarkers and elucidation of the suitability of liquid biopsies.
