Overview

Tobias Moser is affiliated with the University of Göttingen in Germany and specializes primarily in neuroscience. Their research output includes extensive work in cellular and molecular neuroscience, sensory systems, cognitive neuroscience, molecular biology, and biomedical engineering.

Their work encompasses a range of topics centered mostly around auditory neuroscience and related fields. Key research areas include:

  • Hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics
  • Photoreceptor and optogenetics research
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Hearing loss and rehabilitation
  • Neuroscience and neural engineering
  • Neuroscience and neuropharmacology research
  • Biochemical analysis and sensing techniques

Their recent scientific papers demonstrate engagement with advanced experimental techniques and innovations relevant to hearing and vision restoration. Notable publications include:

  • "Circumvention of common labelling artefacts using secondary nanobodies," published in Nanoscale, 2020
  • "Towards the optical cochlear implant: optogenetic approaches for hearing restoration," published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
  • "Multichannel optogenetic stimulation of the auditory pathway using microfabricated LED cochlear implants in rodents," published in Science Translational Medicine, 2020
  • "A sensory cell diversifies its output by varying Ca 2+ influx-release coupling among active zones," published in The EMBO Journal, 2020
  • "Emerging approaches for restoration of hearing and vision," published in Physiological Reviews, 2020

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Tobias Moser include Carolin Wichmann, Nicola Strenzke, Bettina Wolf, Jakob Neef, and Anupriya Thirumalai.

Their research has been disseminated in multiple venues, with recurring publications in:

  • Faculty Opinions - Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie
  • Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
  • eLife

In addition to journal articles, Tobias Moser has contributed to book publications, including work published by WSL-Berichte/WSL Berichte. One such publication is titled "Wirkungskontrolle Biotopschutz Schweiz (WBS): Zustand und Veränderungen in den Biotopen von nationaler Bedeutung nach zwei Erhebungsperioden," scheduled for 2025.
