About
Regular biography
Matthias Landgraf is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Zoology. His research focuses on the development of nervous systems, plasticity mechanisms that enable nerve cells to adapt to challenges, and how early life experiences influence nervous system function. His work explores synapses, critical periods, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the use of Drosophila as a model organism. He employs techniques such as imaging, genetics, electrophysiology, and behavioural analysis in his studies.
