Prof. PD Dr. phil.nat. Sonja Kleinlogel
Research Group Leader, Lecturer
Department of Physiology
University of Bern
Sonja Kleinlogel is Group Leader of the “Translational Optogenetics Lab” at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Bern and tenured since 2018. Already during her Postdoc at the Max-Planck Institute in Frankfurt/M (Germany) she contributed pioneering work to the emerging field of optogenetics. Optogenetics is a molecular technology that introduces genes encoding light-sensitive proteins into selected target cells to render them controllable by light. Sonja Kleinlogel has been ever since intrigued by the interplay of the “small” – the protein/molecule –with the “big and complex” – the organism – and fascinated by implementing tricks from nature into research to open new avenues in applications....
