HiLIFE Webinar: Gerhard Schratt

Non-coding RNA function in synapse development, plasticity and behaviour
Gerhard Schratt is a professor for Systems Neuroscience at the Department of Health, Science and Technology (D-HEST) of the Swiss Federal Institute (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, since 2017. His research focuses on molecular mechanism of brain synapse development and plasticity, with a particular focus on the role of non-coding RNAs. He earned his diploma in biochemistry and his PhD in cell biology (2002) from the University of Tuebingen, Germany, and completed postdoctoral training from Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, in 2006. From 2006-2010, he was junior group leader at the Interdisciplinary Center for Neuroscience at University of Heidelberg, Germany, before being appointed full professor for Biochemistry at the Philipps-University of Marburg, Germany, in 2010.
