Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Frankfurt, Germany.
Lorenz has broad interests in neural systems function, natural behaviour, and evolution. He completed undergraduate studies in Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Vienna, and undertook a doctorate with Mario de Bono at the MRC-LMB / University of Cambridge, studying chemosensory behaviours, their plasticity and natural variation in the nematode worm C. elegans. He subsequently joined the lab of Gilles Laurent at the Max-Planck-Institute for Brain Research, shifting focus from a molecular to a systems level, and exploring various aspects of sleep in the reptilian brain. Lorenz is currently preparing for his upcoming move to Munich, where he will start his Neuroethology Group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Intelligence.
