25.03.2026 Bachelor Defense: Roxana Probst
Roxana successfully defended her Bachelor’s thesis at the University of Konstanz. She performed cannibalistic preference assays to investigate the neural circuits underlying hunger state-dependent modulation in Drosophila larvae. Congratulations, and all the best for your future career!
25.09.2025 Bachelor Defense: Jonathan Ernst
Jonny successfully defended his Bachelor’s thesis at the University of Konstanz. He performed olfactory preference assays to investigate the neural circuits underlying state-dependent modulation in Drosophila larvae. Congratulations, and all the best for your future career!
16.04.2025 Bachelor Defense: Aljoscha Markus
Aljoscha successfully defended his Bachelor’s thesis at the University of Konstanz. He used optogenetic tools to investigate the sensory circuits underlying conspecific recognition in Drosophila larvae. Congratulations, and all the best for your future career!
07.2024 VTK students Hannah Kniebeler and Parsa Pahlavan investigated larval behavior
Our 6-week Advanced Course in Neuroscience is coming to an end. Hannah established temporal phototaxis in the lab, supervised by Akhila. Hari supervised Parsa and they explored larval chemotaxis behavior - do larvae respond to adult sensory cues? It was so much fun to have them in the lab, as always too little time for great projects!
15.12.2023 Bachelor Defense: Amelie Edmaier
Amelie successfully defended her Bachelor’s thesis at the University of Konstanz. She investigated the sensory circuits underlying conspecific recognition in a cannibalistic context in Drosophila larvae. Congratulations, happy holidays and all the best for your future career!
20.10.2023 Bachelor Defense: Constantin Dyroff
Today, Constantin successfully defended his Bachelor thesis at the University of Konstanz. He established optogenetics in the lab and investigated how artificial activation of taste neurons can affect the fly larva’s internal state-modulated behavior. Congratulations and all the best for your future career!
