Draft:Trese Leinders-Zufall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trese Leinders-Zufall[1] (born January 19, 1963) is a researcher and professor at the Center for Integrative Physiology and Molecular Medicine (CIPMM) at the Saarland University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physiology at the Campus Homburg, Germany where the Saarland University Hospital is located. Her research focuses on mechanisms of odor and pathogen sensing in the olfactory system[2][3][4], neural pathways mediating olfactory-encoded innate social behaviors[4][5][6], and TRP channel function in neurons of the CNS and respiratory epithelium[7][8].

Personal life

[edit]

Trese Leinders-Zufall (née Leinders) was born in Nieuwer-Amstel (nowadays belonging to the city Amstelveen, The Netherlands) on January 19, 1963. Her father was a pilot, while her mother was a homemaker who later became an interior decorator. Leinders-Zufall has two younger brothers, Bob Leinders[9] and Robert Leinders-Krog. Leinders-Zufall is married with Frank Zufall, a fellow researcher and professor[10][11][12].  

Education

[edit]

Trese Leinders-Zufall received her first training in Biology at the Utrecht University, The Netherlands, where she received the title ‘doctorandus’. She then started her scientific career at the same university on a research project regarding calcium-activated potassium channels funded by the NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, Dutch Research Council), which allowed her to obtain her doctoral-level degree, Dr. (Doctor), equivalent of a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). The chapters of her thesis were published in four peer-reviewed papers[13][14][15][16]. She then worked first in the position as postdoctoral fellow and later as Associate Research Scientist at Yale University from 1992 – 1997 in the department of Neurology (Jeffrey D. Kocsis and Stephen G. Waxman) and the department of Neurobiology (Gordon M. Shepherd). Leinders-Zufall was offered the position of Assistant Professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore (MD), USA in 1997, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2002. In 2008 she received a 5-star (endowed) Lichtenberg professorship[17] from the Volkswagen Foundation (Germany) and accepted a full professorship at the Department of Physiology, Saarland University, Campus Homburg[18].
