Curriculum Vitae - Tatiana Korotkova

Education and Professional Experience

T. Korotkova studied biology with a focus on human and animal physiology in Lomonosov Moscow State University. During her Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. R.E. Brown and Prof. H.L. Haas in Düsseldorf she investigated actions of various hypothalamic neuropeptides on aminergic nuclei, particularly on dopaminergic system. As a postdoc in the lab of Prof H. Monyer in Heidelberg, and later in a collaboration with Prof. T. J. Jentsch in Berlin she studied mechanisms of hippocampal network oscillations in behaving transgenic mice. Since 2012 T. Korotkova was a junior group leader at the Leibniz Institute of Molecular Pharmacology (FMP)/Neurocure Cluster of Excellence in Berlin, since April 2017 - a research group leader at MPI for Metabolism Research. She was a holder of the DFG and Schering foundation research stipends, and was awarded the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Grant as well as the Junior Brain Prize by Lundbeck Foundation. T. Korotkova is a member of German Neuroscience Society. Her research is supported by the Max Planck Society, the DFG (NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence) and the German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development (GIF). She supervised 4 Ph.D. and 3 M.Sc. students, and co-authored 22 peer-reviewed original publications, 3 reviews as well as one book chapter.
