Lectures and seminars “The Gene-Regulatory Mechanisms Shaping Inhibitory Neuronal Diversity” with Dr Christian Mayer, Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology
Welcome to a seminar with Dr Christian Mayer, Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology: “The Gene-Regulatory Mechanisms Shaping Inhibitory Neuronal Diversity”.
Speaker
Dr Christian Mayer, Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology
Dr. Mayer studied biology at the University of Konstanz and received his PhD from the University of Hamburg, where his doctoral thesis at ZMNH was awarded the Gebhard Koch PhD Prize in Biochemistry and Neurobiology. As an EMBO Long-Term Fellow at the NYU Neuroscience Institute and later at the Broad Institute, Dr. Mayer pioneered the use of single-cell RNA sequencing to study how gene expression during development leads to the emergence of cortical interneuron diversity. In 2018, Dr. Mayer was awarded an ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council.
