15.08.2024 - The Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology would like to announce the upcoming talk by Dr. Rachel Lippert from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke.

When: Tuesday, 20.08.2024, at 3 pm

What: “Energy Balance and the Brain: Impacts of the metabolic environment in adulthood and development”

Where: LIN, Ebbinghaus Hall

Dr. Rachel Lippert received her PhD from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN,USA in 2014 in Molecular Physiology and Biophysics where she worked with Drs. Roger Cone and Kate Ellacott. She completed her postdoctoral training under the direction of Dr. Jens Brüning at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolic Research in Köln. In 2020 she was selected as a Junior Research Group Leader within the NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and opened her lab at the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbrücke. There she was futhur selected as a Leibniz Best Minds Junior Group Leader. She leads the Neurocircuit Development and Function department and her team uses animal models to study the complex interaction of the early nutritional and metabolic environment and the development of neural circuits in the brain and overall general effects of energy state on brain function.
