Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

PhD projects are offered in the general area of “Developmental Neurobiology” and more specifically in “Structural plasticity, regeneration and repair” using the fruit-fly Drosophila as a model organism. We look at genes, molecules, neurons and glia in these contexts. Technical approaches include genetics, confocal microscopy in fixed specimens and in time-lapse, molecular biology inclugin CRISPR/Cas-9 technology, cell culture, protein biochemistry, optogenetics, calcium imaging, and behavioural tests. We collaborate with biochemists, electrophysiologists and computer scientists.

Masters projects are offered in the field of Developmental Neurobiology as above, and also in image processing and computational modelling (in collaboration).
