Thomas Budde

Prof. Thomas Budde is a Professor at the Institute of Physiology I (Neurophysiology), University of Muenster, Germany. He is actively involved in the 'Cells in Motion' research initiative. His work focuses on the molecular and cellular physiology of the thalamocortical system, with expertise in cellular imaging and electrophysiology. Key research themes include analysis of neuronal network function, oscillations, neuroinflammation, and ion channel biology.

• Research Interests: Thalamocortical system dynamics, ion channel modulation, neuroinflammation, and electrophysiological network analysis.
• Techniques: Electrophysiology, PET imaging, fluorescent probes, computational modeling of neuronal activity.

His publications highlight contributions to understanding K⁺ channel roles in tumor cells, autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and thalamic oscillatory activity. Recent work explores anesthesia's impact on BOLD signals and HCN4 channel regulation in brain networks. Collaborations include imaging network projects and drug development for neuroinflammatory conditions.

Labs/Teams: Participates in the Multiscale Imaging Centre and collaborative research networks targeting neuroinflammation and ion channel dysfunction.
