You will know that your university is excellent when 5 of its researchers win an European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant in a single round.

We are hiring! If you are interested in joining our team as a TA, see the advertisement below! Please contact Joerg Heineke for further details


Congratulations 👏 to Christian Schmahl on his appointment to the Chair of Psychosomatics and Psychotherapeutic Medicine at the Mannheim Medical Faculty Uni Heidelberg. Welcome as a core member of the MCTN!

It’s happening, we are online 🥹 Great project and lots of fun with Ruth Sims and all co-authors in the EmilianiLab at Institut de la Vision #rhodopsinGEVI #Scanless2P


PdCO is a switchable optogenetic tool for inhibiting synaptic transmission in neuronal terminals in vivo, as demonstrated in a variety of contexts mainly in the mouse. Ofer Yizhar 💔 @JWietek Weizmann Institute nature.com/articles/s4159…




Bei der akademischen Mittagspause von Health + Life Science Alliance Heidelberg Mannheim ist MCTN-Forscherin Dr. Nina Bonekamp mit ihrem Vortrag "Mitochondriale DNA - das "andere" Genom im Kampf gegen Krankheiten" dabei. Am 10.07.24, 13:00-13:30 Uhr in der Peterskirche in Heidelberg.

Get ready to hear about new tools in the world of Optics, Genetics, and Optogenetics at #OptoGRC2024! 🌟🔦 Led by MasseckLab & featuring Elena Govorunova, Shiqiang Gao, J. Simon Wiegert, Tommaso Fellin, Christiane Grimm & Fuzik Janos You won't want to miss out on this "illuminating" discussion!


Time to hit the road after an amazing Optogenetics Gordon Research Conference meeting full of cutting edge science, great people and yummy food. Many thanks for the invitation and the organization to Ofer Yizhar 💔 Steve Ramirez and Bianca Jones Marlin, PhD


And it’s out: doi.org/10.1016/j.stem… In this small study we show that engrafted iPSC cardiomyocytes can initiate an impulse that leads to whole ventricular contraction. These results highlight to watch out for graft-induced arrhythmia! @weinberf J. Simon Wiegert

Our lab at UKE Hamburg is recruiting! We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to study the circuit dynamics underlying the development of cognitive flexibility. Please RT


The joint meeting of the German, Austrian, and Swiss Physiological Societies has started in the historical campus of the Uni Wien Leben


Join Johannes Bohacek, Professor ETH Zurich who will talk about "The transition from acute to chronic stress: in search of the tipping point": Host:J. Simon Wiegert (@MCTN) 👉September 26 at 4 pm at Universitätsmedizin Mannheim, House 6, Level 4, Lecture hall 1




This was a great meeting in the impressive environment of the UNESCO world heritage city of Beaza. I learned a lot about cellular sensors and hope to have contributed some insights about using light sensors for optogenetics. Thanks so much for the invitation Felix Viana
