Our research focuses on structural and functional plasticity of neurons and their molecular regulation in health and disease. Using reverse and horizontal translation approaches for (non-)invasive neuromodulation, we strive to better understand how the brain works. Eventually our findings may support the development of new therapeutic strategies in neurology and psychiatry based on ‘neural plasticity modulation’.

At the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, we stand united in our commitment to create and nurture an equitable and diverse environment. We understand that excellence in science is not just about groundbreaking discoveries, but also about the respect for people and steadfastness in our values.
