Rate My Professor Eveline Baumgart-Vogt

Her research centers on peroxisomes in biology and medicine, examining their roles in eukaryotic cellular compartments that regulate metabolic pathways, maintain homeostasis, and protect against toxic events leading to cell death. Key interests include lipid metabolism, peroxisomal functions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, lung fibrosis, regeneration, odontogenesis, and reproductive biology. Notable publications include 'Compromised peroxisomes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis' (PNAS, 2015), revealing peroxisomal defects in lung pathology; 'Deletion of a single allele of the Pex11β gene is sufficient to cause neuronal morphogenesis defects and epilepsy' (Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2012); 'Peroxiredoxins, Oxidative Stress, and Cell Proliferation' (Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2005); 'Peroxisomal dysfunction interferes with odontogenesis and craniofacial development' (PLoS ONE, 2024); and 'Peroxisomes in the mouse ovary and their alterations during postnatal development' (Histochemistry and Cell Biology, 2023). She has advanced the field through high-impact studies on peroxisomal biogenesis and dysfunction. Baumgart-Vogt has served as former President of the European Federation for Experimental Morphology (EFEM) and the Anatomische Gesellschaft, alongside committee roles in graduate education and anatomical societies.
