Lecture held by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Andreas Zimmer
Professor
Our research aims to help solving one of the greatest challenges of biomedical research: understanding how the brain works and how psychiatric illnesses develop.
At the focus of our research are molecules that modulate the interaction between the different cells of the central nervous system, which include neurons, glial and immune cells. Most brain disorders are caused by disturbances in brain cell communication or a loss of neurons. Both processes are often intertwined.
Our research interests are molecular mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders with a focus on addiction, pain and affective disorders; molecular biology of modulatory neurotransmitters and molecular biology of aging.
