The Neuroscience Center Zurich welcomes its new members.
New ZNZ research group leaders:
Annika Keller, PhD
Division of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Zurich
Annika Keller’s research focuses on brain vasculature, in particular on pericytes and how pericyte-deficiency or dysfunction leads to neurodegeneration.
Prof. Dr. med. Bea Latal
Child Development Center, Dept. of Pediatrics, University Children’s Hospital Zurich
Bea Latal’s clinical and research interest focuses on newborns and children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, in particular children born with a congenital heart disease. More
Prof. Jean-Pascal Pfister
Institute of Neuroinformatics, UZH / ETH Zurich
Jean-Pascal Pfister is an SNF professor leading a theoretical group working on probabilistic inference and statistical learning applied to neuroscience, in particular synaptic plasticity. More
New junior research group leaders:
Patrick Freund, MD, PhD
Spinal Cord Injury Center, University Hospital Balgrist
Patrick Freund is interested in developing neuroimaging biomarkers for predicting functional outcome of therapeutic treatments and rehabilitative interventions in disorders involving the spinal cord. More
Christian Tackenberg, PhD
Division of Psychiatry Research, University of Zurich
Christian Tackenberg investigates the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease in neuronal cultures, especially how the proteins beta-amyloid and tau cause neurodegeneration and synaptic loss. More
