Fabian earned a B.S. in molecular biology from Heidelberg University and a Master of Science in systems biology from ETH Zurich. During his pre-doctoral studies, he was granted scholarships from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, and later, the Boehringer Ingelheim Fond supported his doctoral research under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Winfried Denk at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Munich. Previously, Fabian worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Kevin Briggman laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior in Bonn.

Joergen contributes over 15 years of experience with machine learning and the analysis of massive microscopy image data sets. He was trained in computational biology and bioinformatics at ETH Zurich (MSc), and then received a prestigious Boehringer Ingelheim Fellowship for his doctoral studies with Prof. Dr. Winfried Denk at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology which he finished with highest honors. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, collaborates closely with laboratories at the New York University and Google AI, and leads a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence near Munich.

Lucas studied Biosciences and obtained his PhD in developmental biology at Heidelberg University. Starting with his bachelor thesis he focused more and more on microscopy and image analysis. During his doctoral work in the lab of Prof. Dr. Steffen Lemke he worked on 3-dimensional tissue folding in Drosophila and developed his own plugins for ImageJ. Before joining ariadne.ai as COO he worked 2 ½ years at the Advanced Light Microscopy facility of the European Molecular biology laboratory (EMBL) where he specialized in automated as well as feedback microscopy and quality control.

Adrian founded ariadne.ai during his doctoral work with Prof. Dr. Rainer Friedrich at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (Novartis) in Basel, Switzerland. In 2016, he was awarded with the Ruth Chiquet-Ehrismann Originality Prize. Adrian holds a Master of Science in theoretical physics and neuroinformatics from ETH Zurich and is a C.V. Starr Fellow at Princeton University studying the neuronal basis of working memory in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Sebastian Seung and Prof. Dr. David Tank. In 2022 he was awarded with an ERC Starting Grant and he is currently leading the Structural Neurobiology research group at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.

Emanuel is a passionate contract lawyer. At ariadne.ai, he safeguards that all the brilliant ideas do not struggle at the stage of legal and administrative implementation. After graduating from the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, he passed the Zurich bar exam and currently works as an attorney-at-law in an international commercial law firm.
