Neural
Resilience
Across Scales
The brain stabilizes its function to withstand perturbations, including pathological challenges.
We seek to unravel molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie this resilience.
Research Questions
We employ a broad and integrative set of approaches, ranging from electrophysiology and super-resolution microscopy to animal behavior, and model systems spanning Drosophila to human iPSC-derived neurons, to tackle the following questions:
Updates from the lab
Müller Lab at GRS/GRC (Synaptic Transmission)
Marta, Nasrin and Jiwon represented the Müller Lab at this year’s GRS/GRC on Synaptic Transmission, joining researchers working across diverse models and approaches to understand how synapses function and adapt. A special congratulations to Nasrin, who co-chaired the meeting alongside Rebecca from the Dickman Lab — yay, Team Drosoooophilaaa!

Müller Lab at FENS 2026
Marta, Alena, Nasrin, Jiwon and Martin represented the Müller Lab at FENS 2026, presenting a broad snapshot of the research currently taking shape across the lab. Their work spanned neuronal excitability and presynaptic homeostatic plasticity in iPSC-derived neurons, as well as studies of PHP and sleep in Drosophila.

A wonderful visit from Graeme Davis
We had the pleasure of hosting Graeme Davis from UCSF. His insightful lecture on synaptic homeostasis, engaging discussions, and lovely stories made for a truly inspiring and fun visit. We loved having him here!
