Impact of the extracellular matrix on plasticity in juvenile and adult brains

R. Frischknecht
Studied biochemistry at the University of Zurich where he also did his PhD thesis in the Group of Prof. Peter Sonderegger at the biochemical Institute. During his thesis he investigated cellular transport mechanisms and, in particular, activity-dependent secretion of neuronal proteases. In 2005 he was awarded a fellowship from the Swiss National Foundation to work as a postdoctoral fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg (Germany) in the Group of Prof. Eckart Gundelfinger. There he got interested in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the brain and its influence on synaptic plasticity and learning. After a few visits as guest scientist at the CNRS in Bordeaux he became group leader at the Leibniz Institute. To date his work is still concentrating on ECM-dependent cellular signaling, ECM remodeling and its impact on synaptic plasticity and learning.

Max F.K. Happel
Studied biology in Frankfurt/Main and neurosciences in Magdeburg. In 2011 he received his PhD with Prof. Frank Ohlat from the University of Magdeburg. He focused on the cortical physiology during learning in rodents. After that he received a DAAD stipend to go as a postdoctoral fellow to the University of Oxford. Here, he investigated cellular and network mechanisms of auditory perception in ferrets. Since 2013 Mr. Happel is doing postdoc at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (LIN) in Magdeburg. His research focus is on neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory with an emphasis on cortical physiology and auditory neuroscience. Since 2015 he has established his research group at the LIN as Leibniz Postdoctoral Fellow of the Leibniz Society.
