University College London.
Michael Häusser earned his PhD from Oxford University under the supervision of Julian Jack. He subsequently worked with Nobel Laureate Bert Sakmann at the Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg and with Philippe Ascher at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. He established his lab at UCL in 1997 and became Professor of Neuroscience in 2001. He helped to found the International Brain Laboratory, a global open-science collaboration which aims to understand how the brain makes decisions. His group uses a combination of two-photon imaging, two-photon optogenetics and Neuropixels recordings during behaviour in order to understand the cellular and circuit basis of neural computations in the mammalian brain, with a strong focus on dendritic computation.
