Portrait

Dr. rer. nat. Dr. med. habil. Gerald Hüther, geb. 1951, ist Professor für Neurobiologie an der Psychiatrischen Klinik der Universität Göttingen. Zuvor, am Max-Planck-Institut für experimentelle Medizin, hat er sich mit Hirnentwicklungsstörungen und mit der langfristigen Modulation monoaminerger Systeme beschäftigt; als Heisenbergstipendiat hat er ein Labor für neurobiologische Grundlagenforschung aufgebaut.
