I am so grateful to receive an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant for the ActiVisTha project to study thalamic circuit diversity for active visual processing. Please get in touch if you would like to join my team.

💥DANDRITE GL's Fiona Müllner and Chao Sun receive an ERC Starting Grant 2025💥
With the grant, Fiona will explore how the thalamus shapes and modulates visual signals. Chao aims to uncover how the brain’s cleaning system works, especially during sleep.
Huge congratulations👏
@erc.europa.eu

My new lab will investigate thalamic circuits for vision and how the brain actively modifies its visual perception. I will be looking for motivated and talented postdocs, PhD and master/bachelor students - please get in touch if you would like to join my journey.

I am honored and excited to announce that I will be starting as group leader at @dandrite.bsky.social and associate professor at @au.dk in August 2025. I look forward very much to joining my future colleagues in Aarhus in doing excellent Neuroscience, with many scientific puzzles ahead to solve!

We are happy to announce the recruitment of our new group leader, @fionamuellner.bsky.social. Coming from the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel, Fiona will investigate how neural circuits at the brain’s first central processing stage—the thalamus—shape the way we see.
Welcome!
