Mechanisms of genetic epilepsies

  • U. Hedrich

    Studied biology at Ulm University and obtained her PhD in 2008 in the group of PD Dr. Wolfgang Stein, Department of Neurobiology (under the direction of Prof. Dr. Harald Wolf) at Ulm University, on the activation and interplay of higher neuronal centers on central pattern generators in the stomatogastric nervous system of the cancer crab. She then joined the laboratory of Prof. Holger Lerche, Departments of Neurology and Applied Physiology at Ulm University, as a postdoctoral fellow. Since 2010, she has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research in the Department of Neurology and Epileptology under the direction of Prof. Dr. Holger Lerche. Her focus is on analyzing sodium channel defects in mouse models.

    , S. Maljevic

    Studied molecular biology and physiology at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, and finished her PhD in 2005 at Ulm University on molecular defects of ion channels related to inherited forms of epilepsy in the group of Prof. Dr. Holger Lerche, Departments of Neurology and Applied Physiology. She moved with his group in 2010 to the Hertie Institute of Clinical Brain Research, University of Tübingen, where she is now a postdoctoral fellow and project leader in the Department of Neurology and Epileptology. Her work focuses mainly on the neuronal expression of ion channels and the mechanisms of potassium channel defects.

    und H. Lerche

    Studied physics and human medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and completed his doctoral dissertation in 1996 on the mechanisms of myotonia under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Lehmann-Horn. He attained his habilitation in 2000 on the pathophysiology of channelopathies of muscles and brain while holding the post of neurologist at the Neurological Clinic at Ulm University. He subsequently became a consultant neurologist and Head of Epileptology at the Department of Neurology, University of Ulm, and obtained a Heisenberg fellowship of the DFG between 2003 and 2008. Residences: 2001, the Clinic of Epileptology, University of Bonn; 2005, the Institute of Neurology, UCL, Queen Square, London; 2007, the Howard Florey Institute at the University of Melbourne. He was offered the chair of Neurology and Epileptology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tübingen, in 2009. The focus of his group is the genetics and pathophysiology of inherited epilepsy syndromes and related neurological disorders, the related excitability of neurons as well as the function, expression and pharmacology of ion channels and transporters.
