Silvia Arber

Silvia Arber (born October 16, 1968 in Geneva ) is a Swiss neurobiologist . She teaches and researches as a professor at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel and at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel .

Life

Silvia Arber studied biology at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel and received her doctorate in 1995 from the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI), Basel. She then did research as a postdoc at Columbia University , New York . In 2000 Silvia Arber returned to Basel to research and teach as a professor of neurobiology / cell biology both at the Biozentrum and at the FMI. Silvia Arber is the daughter of the Swiss microbiologist and geneticist Werner Arber , who was awarded the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine .

Act

Silvia Arber researches the functioning and development mechanisms of neural networks that control the body's movements. She succeeded in proving that precise signal cascades are responsible for the formation and function of motor networks in the spinal cord and that transcription factors and cell surface molecules play a decisive role. In addition, they showed that the motoneurons upstream groups of neurons depending on their origin time point in their functionality and the distribution in the spinal cord from each other. Silvia Arber's research is medically important as it provides information on possible interventions in the case of motor network defects or injuries to the spinal cord.
