Robert Bähring

Prof. Robert Bähring is a Professor at the University of Hamburg's Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Institute of Cellular and Integrative Physiology within the Center for Experimental Medicine. His research focuses on ion channel physiology, neurodevelopmental disorders, and cardiac electrophysiology. He holds positions in experimental neurobiology and has contributed to understanding genetic variants linked to epilepsy and developmental delays. His work bridges basic science with clinical applications, including studies on channelopathies and drug discovery for prostate cancer.

• Research Interests: Ion channel dysfunction, neurodevelopmental genetics, cardiovascular electrophysiology, molecular neurobiology.
• Affiliations: Institute of Cellular and Integrative Physiology, University of Hamburg Medical Center (UKE).

Dr. Bähring has published extensively on potassium channel modulation, genetic variants in neurological disorders, and educational methods in physiology. His recent work includes elucidating KCNH3 and KCND1 gene mutations' roles in epilepsy and developmental disorders.

He collaborates internationally and has contributed to translational research, such as evaluating marine-derived compounds for cancer therapy. His lab integrates molecular, cellular, and systems-level approaches to study ion channel physiology in health and disease.
