Prof Dr Martin Korte
Head of Research Group

Martin Korte has already focused on synaptic plasticity during his PhD projects "Signaling Systems at hippocampal synapses" at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Neurobiology in Martinsried. Afterwards he became a research group leader at the MPI of Neurobiology.

2004 Martin Korte got the professorship at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. Since 2007 he is the professor of cellular neurobiology and the director of the zoological institute at the TU Braunschweig.

In 2012 he established the research group neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research and thereby connect with his experience in the fields of cellular neurobiology and neurophysiology the areas of infection and neurodegenerative diseases.
