Thomas Effertz

Thomas Effertz, PhD

Thomas Effertz lives in Germany and works on utilizing the advantages of flies and rodents model systems to better understand MET channels, focusing on the importance of the lipid bilayer for their function. His research interests lie in understanding how hearing works on the molecular level. Effertz received his MS in biology from University Cologne in Germany and his PhD in neurobiology and neuroscience from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in Germany. He completed his postdoctoral training at Stanford University School of Medicine.

  • Striatal neurons from embryonic day 17.5 Frizzled3 knock-out mice, stained for dopamineand cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein of 32 kDa (DARPP-32; green). The striatum is normally heavily innervated by meso-diencephalic axons at this developmental stage, but the neurons shown here still await innervation by these projections.
