Frederic Römschied

Panelist and Young PI speaker | “Modulation of neural function following experience in alternate social realities“

Frederic Römschied is a group leader in the Computational Neuroethology of Social Flexibility laboratory at the European Neuroscience Institute. After completing his doctoral studies in Biophysics at the Humboldt University of Berlin, he worked at Princeton University as a postdoctoral research fellow until 2021. Since establishing his research group in the European Neuroscience Institute in 2023, he has been investigating social flexibility using the vinegar fly Drosophila as a model system. Combining a wide range of methodological approaches including optogenetics, neurogenetics, and computational modeling, Dr. Römschied aims to uncover the neural mechanisms of social behavior and flexibility at the behavioral and neural circuit level.
