Research
- Our research group is interested in the genetic and cellular mechanisms of postnatal and adolescent maturation and its role in psychiatric disorders. We apply advanced mouse genetics in combination with electrophysiology and modern molecular methods to probe and identify cellular changes and the function of individual cell types as well as study the circuit basis of their function.
