Lars Binkle-Ladisch studied biology at the Freie Universität Berlin. For his PhD he joined the Institute for Molecular and Cellular Cognition (IMCC) at the Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH) and received his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in 2010. In 2011 he became a postdoctoral fellow at the IMCC studying the molecular function of the immediate early gene Arc/Arg3.1, a master regulator of synaptic plasticity and cognition. In 2017 he became a postdoctoral fellow at the INIMS. His main research focus is the TRPM4 CAN channel and its protective function in neurodegeneration. In cooperation with biotech companies, he advances the development of TRMP4 inhibiting drugs that can be used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
