Andreas M. Grabrucker
Primary Research Pillar: Health
Research Area: Neuroscience and Cell Biology
Dr Grabrucker received his MSc in Biology with a focus on genetics in 2005 from the Technical University of Munich, Germany. From 2005 to 2009 he investigated the molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity in his doctoral at Ulm University, Germany. After receiving his Ph.D., he continued his neuroscientific research in the United States at Stanford University’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences until 2011. In 2011, he returned to University of Ulm as Assistant Professor, where he headed the research group “Molecular analysis of synaptopathies”. At the same time he took up the position of Executive Director of the Neurocenter of the University of Ulm. Since 2017, he is a lecturer at the Department of Biological Sciences, at the University of Limerick.
