Jochen Roeper

Jochen Roeper is a German physiologist and physician at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . His research focus is on neurophysiology and Parkinson's research .

Life

After studying medicine, Jochen Roeper received his doctorate from 1986 to 1992 at the Institute for Physiology at the University of Hamburg . He then worked as a Potdoc at the Physiological Institute at the University of Oxford at Oxford in the United Kingdom until 1994 . After a five-year employment in Hamburg, at the Institute for Neurophysiology there , he returned to Oxford in 1999 as an assistant professor ( expensive track ) and worked there in the MRC Anatomical Neuropharmacology Unit (dissolved in 2015) of the pharmacological department.

In 2002 Roeper was appointed to a C3 professorship at the Institute for Normal and Pathological Physiology at the University of Marburg . There he also worked as head of a working group on Parkinson's research. In April 2007 he was called to Frankfurt as W3 professor and director of the Institute for Physiology II - Sensory and Neurophysiology. Since 2008 Roeper has been managing director of the Center for Physiology (consisting of the Institutes for Physiology I - Cardiovascular Physiology ( Ralf P. Brandes ) and Physiology II - Sensory and Neurophysiology) at Goethe University Frankfurt .

Act

Jochen Roeper researches dopaminergic systems in the midbrain . Particular attention is paid to the role of various ion channels that are necessary for the development of action potentials . The aim is to better understand and treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease , schizophrenia , drug addiction and ADHD . The research takes place in vitro as well as on animal models (mostly mouse or rat models).
