Reza Ahmadian

Prof. Dr. Reza Ahmadian is a faculty member at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology II within the Faculty of Medicine at Heinrich-Heine-University. His research focuses on biochemical networks and signal transduction pathways involving Ras and Rho GTPases, particularly their roles in neurological diseases and intellectual disabilities.

Key research interests include:

• Molecular mechanisms of axonal plasticity and dendritic spine formation
• Functional characterization of proteins like OCRL, OPHN, and FMRP
• Neuronal development and brain function

His work utilizes advanced imaging technologies and molecular approaches such as confocal microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and synaptosomal cell fractionation. Notable contributions include studies on RhoGAP regulation, GTPase signaling, and genetic disorders like Noonan syndrome.
