معرفی
Dr. Rebecca Waag is a Researcher affiliated with the Department of Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at ETH Zurich. She is part of the Professorship for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, contributing to cutting-edge research in neuroscience and molecular biology. Her work focuses on understanding stress physiology, neurovascular interactions, and cellular metabolism, particularly in the context of neurological disorders and adaptive responses to environmental challenges.
Her research interests span neurovascular biology, molecular mechanisms of stress habituation, and the development of novel tools for behavioral assessment. She has pioneered methods like GrimACE, an automated system for evaluating pain and well-being in preclinical models. Her studies often integrate multi-omics approaches, such as single-nucleus RNA sequencing and quantitative behavioral analysis, to uncover latent biological phenomena.
Dr. Waag's contributions include advancing knowledge on astrocytic roles in glucose metabolism, noradrenaline's influence on hippocampal gene expression, and the vascular gene Apold1's role in angiogenesis. Her work bridges fundamental research with translational applications, emphasizing ethical and technological innovations in neuroscience.
While no specific awards are listed, her publications reflect a prolific and impactful career. She is actively involved in lab operations at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Neuroscience, though no student advisees or grants are explicitly mentioned in available records.
