Scientific Interests
In addition to my work as teaching coordinator for physiology and university representative for the first part of the medical state examination (M1), I am interested in the molecular mechanisms of the development of neuronal networks and the function of various transmitter systems. To investigate this, I use electrophysiological, immunohistochemical and molecular biological approaches in models of physiological and pathophysiological neuronal activity.
