Noa Lipstein

Emerging techniques session | The title of the talk is not defined yet.

Noa Lipstein is the Head of the Synapse Biology Junior Research Group at the Leibniz Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) in Berlin, Germany, where she investigates the role of the synaptic proteome in synaptic diversity and function. She is a member of the NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence and serves on the Executive Board of the Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin (ECN).

Her current research aims to uncover how synapse identity is shaped by underlying unique protein compositions organized by transcriptional and translational programs. In addition, her group studies presynaptic mechanisms of plasticity to understand disorders of the synaptic vesicle release. She was able to identify major presynaptic pathways shaping synapse plasticity like Ca2+/calmodulin signaling.

Her scientific achievements were recognized early in her career with the Otto Hahn Award for Excellence from the Max Planck Society, granted for outstanding doctoral research. Most recently, she received the Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard Stipend.
