About Peter Rupprecht
I am Peter Rupprecht, a neuroscientist and group leader based in Switzerland. Please find my CV here.
Since March 2023, I’m leading a junior research group in the lab of Fritjof Helmchen at the Brain Research Institute in Zürich/Switzerland. We use and develop two-photon microscopy for calcium imaging in hippocampus from both neurons and astrocytes, large-scale imaging of cleared brain tissue, closed-loop behavioral paradigms, and single-cell perturbations in vivo. Key components of our work are careful experimental design as well as in-depth data analysis rather than large-scale experiments or screens, with the goal to understand individual cells and how they integrate signals from local and brain-wide circuits.
