Neuroscientist studying thalamic circuits for vision

💥DANDRITE GL's Fiona Müllner and Chao Sun receive an ERC Starting Grant 2025💥 With the grant, Fiona will explore how the thalamus shapes and modulates visual signals. Chao aims to uncover how the brain’s cleaning system works, especially during sleep. Huge congratulations👏 @erc.europa.eu

My new lab will investigate thalamic circuits for vision and how the brain actively modifies its visual perception. I will be looking for motivated and talented postdocs, PhD and master/bachelor students - please get in touch if you would like to join my journey.

We are happy to announce the recruitment of our new group leader, @fionamuellner.bsky.social. Coming from the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel, Fiona will investigate how neural circuits at the brain’s first central processing stage—the thalamus—shape the way we see. Welcome!
