Jasper Poort

Dr Jasper Poort serves as a University Lecturer and Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN), University of Cambridge. Based at the Physiological Laboratory (CB2 3EG), he maintains active research and teaching roles within this leading neuroscience department.

His research centers on systems neuroscience with specific focus on visual sensory processing and neural circuit mechanisms. This work bridges cellular physiology and higher-order brain function, exploring how neural systems encode and interpret visual information during development and adulthood.

Dr Poort's significant research funding comes through the prestigious Sir Henry Dale Fellowship:

• Sir Henry Dale Fellowship (jointly awarded by the Royal Society and Wellcome Trust)

As a University Lecturer, he contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programs while leading an independent research group. His lab website (https://www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/svl/) indicates specialization in vision neuroscience, where he directs experimental work on neural coding and sensory system development. His fellowship provides dedicated resources for investigating fundamental mechanisms of visual processing.
