Dagmar Iber studied mathematics and biochemistry in Regensburg, Cambridge, and Oxford. She holds Master degrees and PhDs in both disciplines. After three years as a Junior Research Fellow in St John’s College, Oxford, Dagmar became a lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Imperial College London. Dagmar has joined ETH Zuerich in 2008 after returning from an investment bank where she worked as an oil option trader for one year.

Dagmar Iber’s research involves the development of quantitative, predictive models for cellular signaling networks. Close collaborations with experimental laboratories permit a cycle of model testing and improving. The ultimate goal of her research is a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and evolution of complex cellular signaling networks. Current research topics concern the mechanisms that enable efficient signal processing in complex cellular signaling pathways, the evolution and design principles of biological signaling networks, as well as the role and impact of stochastic effects. Her current research focuses in particular on signaling pathways that determine cell fate during development.
