ERC Starting Grant
September 2016: Simon Wiegert recieved a prestigious ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council. Using innovative optogenetic tools, he will investigate the long-term stability of hippocampal networks on the single synapse level.
Congratulations!

Collaborations
We collaborate with the group of Peter Hegemann at the Humboldt University in Berlin in the development of novel optogenetic tools.
With the group of Karel Svoboda at HHMI’s Janelia Farm, we have completed a project on genetically encoded calcium indicators.
We collaborate with Thomas Vetter at the Computer Science Department in Basel to develop software for the automatic segmentation of two-photon microscopy images.
We collaborate with Katalin Török (St George's, University of London) to develop fast genetically encoded sensors.
Behavioral experiments are performed with Fabio Morellini and Matthias Kneussel (ZMNH).
We develop new optogenetic tools for the group of Ileana Hanganu-Opatz (UKE).
We collaborate with Rapp Optoelectronics to develop optical stimulation devices.
