AB Tobias Zech studied biochemistry and received his Master's degree at the Freie Universität (FU) Berlin, Germany, before moving to the University of Oxford, UK, for a PhD in the laboratory of Thomas Harder on T cell receptor signalling and activation. In 2008, Tobias joined Laura Machesky at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow for post-doctoral work on cell migration and motility and the role of the actin cytoskeleton. Tobias established his research group in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at the University of Liverpool, in 2014. There, his group studies processes of cell migration and cancer cell invasion, with an emphasis on actin dynamics and receptor trafficking.
