معرفی
Prof. Dr. Anne Clara von Philipsborn is a Full Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Fribourg's Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Medicine. Her research focuses on the neuroethology of insect behavior, particularly Drosophila reproductive behaviors, acoustic communication, and neuronal control mechanisms. She leads studies on courtship behavior, sexual communication, and the genetic/neurobiological basis of decision-making processes in fruit flies.
Her work integrates behavioral assays with cutting-edge neurobiological techniques like optogenetics to investigate how neural circuits govern mating behaviors. Key areas include postcopulatory mate choice dynamics, GABAergic signaling's role in motor control, and the modulation of female copulation songs by seminal fluid components. She also explores foraging strategies and navigational decision-making in Drosophila.
Prof. von Philipsborn has published extensively in journals such as Neuron, Current Biology, and Nature Communications. Her research bridges developmental biology (e.g., axon guidance studies in early career) with contemporary neuroethological inquiries. She holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0002-7921-8744) and is affiliated with the Endokrinologie, Metabolismus und Kardiovaskuläres System (EMC) department. No former staff status or retirement is indicated in the records.
