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. He will start a research group at the Institut Pasteur in Paris in autumn 2016. Work in his laboratory will be driven by the question how neuronal activity at the level of synapses, neurons, and neuronal circuits drives behaviour.
