Student projects
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in a student project (Master Thesis, Semester Project, Bachelor Thesis). I am constantly looking for highly motivated students who want to work in the field of bottom-up neuroscience. Just send me an email including your CV, an overview of your courses and a short statement about your motivation as well as your skills/experiences. The project can involve both, working in the lab conducting experiments and collecting data as well as purely data analysis driven. Together we can fine tune according to your individual preferences.
Research Interests
- Bottom up neuroscience
- Biohybrid systems
- Microphysiological systems
- Safety pharmacology and drug discovery
