Prof. Dr. Florence Bareyre is a leading Professor at the Biomedical Center, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and principal investigator of the "Spinal Cord Repair" research group. With over 20 years of experience in neurotrauma research, she has made groundbreaking contributions to understanding axonal plasticity and spinal circuit remodeling after CNS injury. Her work demonstrates how detour circuits mediate recovery and how neuronal activity and molecular interventions like FGF22 therapy enhance functional restoration.

Research interests focus on spinal cord injury, axonal plasticity, neuroimmunology, and gene therapy. Her lab uses in vivo imaging, genetic manipulations, and electrophysiological recordings to study detour circuit formation and activity-dependent plasticity. Recent publications highlight microglia's role in synapse engulfment, metabolic interventions for axonal energy deficits, and neurostimulation strategies.
Key article trends include neuroimmunological mechanisms after trauma, molecular therapies for synaptic regeneration, and neurostimulation approaches to unlock recovery. Her work bridges Cellular Neuroscience, Molecular Neurobiology, and Clinical Neuroimmunology.

Leading a diverse team including PhD students and technical assistants, she advises researchers like Fritz Kagerer and Adna Smajkan. Current projects investigate microglia-neuron interactions, Netrin signaling, and age-dependent recovery signals. Funding comes from DFG, SyNergy, Wings for Life, and FOR5705 Neuroflame.
