Ingrid Ehrlich

Prof. Ingrid Ehrlich is a Professor and Head of Department at the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomolecular Systems within the University of Stuttgart. Her research focuses on neurobiology, synaptic plasticity, fear circuits, and sleep physiology, with a particular emphasis on amygdala intercalated cells, synaptic receptor dynamics, and applications in neuropharmacology. She explores mechanisms underlying fear memory, neural circuit modulation, and environmental influences on neurodegenerative processes.

Her work integrates cutting-edge techniques such as optogenetics, electrophysiology, and advanced microscopy to dissect neural circuits and pharmacological interventions. Key contributions include studies on midbrain dopaminergic pathways, sleep-dependent synaptic renormalization, and mistletoe-based therapies for glioblastoma.

Labs and teams under her leadership collaborate on projects spanning neurobiology, environmental toxicology, and translational medicine. No formal awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided text, though her publications reflect significant scholarly impact.
