About
Dr. rer. nat. Felix Beinlich
Hello, I'm Felix
I am an Assistant Professor at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Copenhagen. My work spans neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, with a particular focus on oxygen dynamics in the cortex.
During my doctoral research in Jülich, I specialized in the mechanisms underlying synaptic vesicle acidification in glutamatergic synapses.
Today I work on the mechanisms underlying brain function, the role of astrocytes in regulating neuronal activity, and new methods for studying how the brain responds to changing conditions — including genetically encoded biosensors for in vivo imaging.
Outside the lab, I am an avid cyclist and sailor.
“Nature is showing us only the tail of the lion, but I have no doubt that the lion belongs to it even though, because of its large size, it cannot totally reveal itself all at once. We can see it only the way a louse that is sitting on it would.”— Albert Einstein, 1914
