Christoph Schmidt-Hieber studied medicine in Freiburg, Germany, where for his thesis project he worked on the role of newborn neurons in the adult brain together with Josef Bischofberger and Peter Jonas. He then joined Michael Häusser’s lab at University College London as a postdoc, where he investigated the cellular and synaptic mechanisms of spatially modulated neuronal firing in navigating animals. From 2016 until 2022, he led a “G5” research group at the Institut Pasteur that addressed the question how neuronal activity at the level of synapses, neurons, and neuronal circuits drives behaviour. Christoph Schmidt-Hieber has been Chair of Neurophysiology at the University of Jena in Germany since 2023.
