The institute for Neurophysiology is one of the three Physiological Insitutes.
Within an international team of scientists from various disciplines, we focus on sodium channels and the excitability of cells, in particular with the relationship between sodium channels and pain. Since sodium channels are essentially responsible for nerve excitation, changes in these channels may modulate pain.
On our website you will find everything you need to know about our research, as well as information about open positions.
An overview of the teaching and history of the institute can be found on the Physiological Institutes.
If you have any questions or requests, please do not hesitate to contact us.
