Dr. Felix Beinlich

Dr. Felix Beinlich is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Copenhagen. His work spans neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, with a particular focus on oxygen dynamics in the cortex.

During his doctoral research in Jülich, he specialized in the mechanisms underlying synaptic vesicle acidification in glutamatergic synapses.

Dr. Beinlich contributes to the understanding of complex mechanisms underlying brain function, the role of astrocytes in neuronal activity regulation, and innovative methodologies for studying the brain's response to various conditions — including the development of genetically encoded biosensors for in vivo imaging.

Outside of his academic pursuits, Felix is an avid cyclist and sailor.

"Nature is showing us only the tail of the lion, but I have no doubt that the lion belongs to it even though, because of its large size, it cannot totally reveal itself all at once. We can see it only the way a louse that is sitting on it would."
— Albert Einstein, 1914
