معرفی
Prof. Dr. Stephan Neuhauss leads the Molecular Life Sciences research group at the University of Zurich's Faculty of Science. His lab specializes in zebrafish models for studying retinal biology, visual system development, and heritable human diseases. The Neuhauss Lab has made significant contributions to understanding photoreceptor function, glutamate signaling, and ciliopathies through genetic and physiological approaches.
Research Focus:
- Retinal phototransduction mechanisms
- Zebrafish models for medulloblastoma
- Glutamate homeostasis in CNS
- Evolution of vision-related gene families
Scientific Trends: His 15 most recent publications (2016-2025) reveal a strong focus on zebrafish genetics, retinal disorders, and innovative biomedical technologies. Key subfields include photoreceptor biology, ciliary gene function, synaptic transmission mechanisms, and translational cancer research.
Recognition:
- Best Presentation Awards (2025)
- SNF Förderprofessorship (2019)
- CandDoc Forschungskredit (2018)
Academic Leadership: As Vice-Dean for Research and Planning (2017-), he has shaped Zurich's scientific landscape while mentoring numerous PhD and Master's students including Jingjing Zang, Irene Ojeda Naharros, and Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu.
