Prof. Dr. Eckhard Friauf has been Senior Professor of Animal Physiology at the Department of Biology at the University of Kaiserslautern since 2022. He began his academic career with a degree in biology, specializing in zoology, at the University of Marburg. His doctorate at the University of Tübingen was devoted to investigating the correlation between the structure and function of motor and sensory neurons in rats. After his habilitation in animal physiology, he continued his career at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, where he runs the Department of Animal Physiology since 1999. Prof. Dr. Friauf's research interests focus on the development of the precision of neuronal connections during ontogenesis, with a particular interest in the auditory system of mammals. His goal is to decipher the molecular mechanisms that enable these connections. His current research projects include the study of auditory brainstem circuits to gain a deeper understanding of neuronal networks.
