Aiming to apply mathematical approaches to biological questions, Dr. Schreiber studied biophysics at HU Berlin. Her first hands-on encounter with neuroscience research was during her Diploma thesis in the lab of Simon Laughlin at the University of Cambridge. For the first half of her PhD, Susanne Schreiber joined the lab of Terry Sejnowski at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla as a doctoral Sloan-Swartz Fellow. Bridging the thesis between both labs, she completed the dissertation in Berlin in the lab of Andreas Herz. In 2008 she received the Bernstein Award for Computational Neuroscience which allowed Dr. Schreiber to found her own computational neurophysiology lab at Humboldt-University Berlin, where she was tenured (W3) in 2015. In 2021 Dr. Schreiber received an Einstein Professorship. Her lab investigates principles of neural computation combining biophysical and evolutionary perspectives.
