Christine R. Rose

Christine R. Rose serves as Head of the Institute of Neurobiology at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Her research focuses on intracellular ion signaling in the vertebrate brain, particularly astrocyte-neuron interactions at glutamatergic synapses in hippocampus, cortex, and cerebellum.

• Research Themes: Sodium signaling as ionic excitability, ion gradient maintenance under pathophysiological conditions, TRPV4 channel roles in ischemia, ATP dynamics in energy-deprived states
• Techniques: Multi-photon laser scanning microscopy, electrophysiology, fluorescence lifetime imaging, mathematical modeling
• Collaborations: International neuroscience network partnerships

Article trends show consistent exploration of ion homeostasis in both neurons and astrocytes, with recent work extending to organoid slice protocols and pH regulation mechanisms. Most publications address synaptic dysfunction in ischemic and metabolic compromise scenarios.
