Research Instructor in Psychiatry

I am a native of Germany but have resided in the USA for seven years. I earned my masters and doctoral degrees in biology from the University of Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. Then I served in postdoc positions around the world. My first postdoc was at the University of Tuebingen, Department of Neuro-pharmacology at the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research in Amersterdam. My next postdoc was at Yale University, Department of Psychiatry in New Haven, Connecticut. Then I fulfilled a postdoc position at Vanderbilt University, Department of Psychiatry in Nashville, Tennessee. I have several publications in many well known journals, some being the European Journal of Neuroscience, Journal of Neuroscience, and Synapse. Currently a research instructor, I am working on the regulation of striatal interneurons and on regulation of orexin neurons. In my free time, I enjoy ballroom dancing, reading, and visiting with friends.
