Sönke Hornig

Sönke Hornig is a researcher at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, specifically affiliated with the Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH) under the Hamburg Center of Neuroscience. He has been actively publishing research from 2006 through 2024, demonstrating ongoing contributions to neuroscience and molecular biology.

His research primarily focuses on molecular neurobiology with emphasis on:

• Potassium channel structure, function, and pharmacology
• Creatine and guanidino compound metabolism
• Cerebellar function and Purkinje cell physiology
• Neurodegenerative processes and neuroprotection
• Stroke and cerebrovascular disease mechanisms

Hornig's work spans multiple disciplines including neuroscience, biochemistry, biophysics, and clinical research. His research approach combines molecular techniques, electrophysiology, mouse models, and clinical studies to investigate fundamental neurobiological processes and their implications for human disease. His recent publications show a continued focus on potassium channels, cerebellar function, and the role of guanidino compounds in neurological and vascular conditions.

Hornig has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, particularly with the group led by Prof. Choe (Chiun Choe), with whom he has co-authored numerous papers on creatine metabolism and guanidino compounds.
