Our research overview

 

Dear colleagues, dear students, dear people interested in our research,

The Institute of Neuroanatomy and Cell Biology conducts research on the disease-relevant basics of the structure/function relationships in the central and peripheral nervous system. You can find more information about our main research areas on the following pages. In addition to classic histological techniques, we use the latest methods of single cell electrophysiology (patch clamp), light and electron microscopy (live cell microscopy, 3D-EM) and molecular biology (transcriptome analysis, spatial transcriptomics, single-cell sequencing) to answer our patient-oriented questions. The institute also offers a wide range of cell biological techniques.

Interdisciplinarity is an essential part of our research philosophy. For cooperation requests or further interest in our research, please contact us at any time (neuroanatomie@mh-hannover.de).

With best regards
Yours, Maximilian Lenz
