Research and career

Kullmann's research[2][7] investigates how synapses function in health and disease.[8] His laboratory helped to show how neurotransmitters activate different receptor subtypes in and around synapses, and resolved some controversies about the mechanisms of long-term changes in synaptic strength.[8] Genetic and autoimmune disorders of synaptic proteins (‘synaptopathies’) provide insights into the mechanisms of a broad range of neurological diseases including epilepsy and migraine.[8] Together with his colleagues, Kullmann has used these insights to devise gene therapy strategies that could be used to treat intractable epilepsy.[8][2]

The Kullmann lab

postdoctoral research with Roger Nicoll at the University of California, San Francisco.[1]
