Markus Fendt

apl. Prof. Dr. habil. Markus Fendt is an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology within the Medical school at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. His research focuses on neuropharmacological mechanisms, particularly investigating the role of orexinergic systems in cognitive flexibility and chronobiological disruptions such as jet lag. His recent work includes studies on mouse models to understand neurobehavioral adaptations to chronic jet lag.

Research interests span pharmacology, neuroscience, and toxicology, with a specialization in neuropharmacological interventions and circadian rhythm impacts. Notable publications include a 2025 study in Neuropsychopharmacology exploring orexin's role in cognitive deficits.

His professional profile is anchored at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, contributing to academic and research activities within the medical faculty. Collaborations and grants are not explicitly detailed in the provided information.
