Stühmer, Walter, Prof. Dr.


Professor of Neurophysiology, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine
- 1978 - 1980 PhD work with Dr. F. Conti in Camogli, Italy
- 1980 - 1983 Post Doc in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics in Seattle, USA, with Dr. W. Almers
- 1983 - 1992 Group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen with Dr. E. Neher
- 1992 - present Director of the Department Molecular Biology of Neuronal Signals at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen

Major Research Interests
The principal aim of the department "Molecular Biology of Neuronal Signals" is the study of signaling within cells and between cells. To this end, molecular biology, genetics and electrophysiology are used to elucidate structure-function relationships of membrane-bound proteins, expecially ion channels and receptors. Specific tools such as antibodies and toxins are developed and used to interfere with signaling pathways relevant for cell cycle control, ion selectivity and the secretion of cells in culture and in primary cells.
