Department of Neurosciences and Developmental Biology
derknopfdruecker
We are addressing fundamental problems in Neuroscience, Developmental Biology, and Evolutionary Biology. We are particularly interested in:
- How complex neural circuitry arises in development
- How the activity of neuronal networks regulates animal behavior
- How animal genomes, body plans and cell types evolved
In order to address these questions, we use several animal systems encompassing cnidarians, mollusks, fruit flies and nematodes, and a broad spectrum of experimental approaches. Our expertise ranges from genetics, cell- and developmental biology, and genomics to systems neuroscience. We are an interdisciplinary collaborative team of eight groups.
