Sabine Krabbe

Sabine Krabbe is a researcher affiliated with the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and a member of the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) Life and Health at the University of Bonn. Her work focuses on neural circuit mechanisms underlying adaptive learning and state-dependent decision-making in health and disease. She employs advanced techniques such as in vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics, and electrophysiology to study how neuronal networks integrate internal states and environmental cues. Her research group investigates the functional diversity of defined cell types, from molecular profiles to population-level activity during behavioral tasks.

Dr. Krabbe’s methodologies include anatomical tracing, histology, and pharmacogenetics, emphasizing a systems neuroscience approach. She collaborates with institutions like the University of Bonn and has contributed to studies on amygdala circuitry, VIP interneurons, and dopamine receptor dynamics. Her findings advance understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and adaptive neural processes.
