Christian Stricker

Associate Professor Christian Stricker, affiliated with the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University, specializes in multidisciplinary medical research combining electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and computational modeling. His work focuses on synaptic transmission in the cerebral cortex and calcium homeostasis in thymocytes, contributing to understanding learning, memory, and immune system development.

• Education: MD (University of Zurich), PhD (University of Bern)

Research interests center on synaptic plasticity, presynaptic calcium dynamics, and molecular mechanisms of calcium entry in immature T cells. His studies explore how these processes relate to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and thymic selection mechanisms in collaboration with Professor Chris Parish's Cancer and Vascular Biology group.
