Bonn, 16 July 2024 – The iBehave network is thrilled to announce that Prof. Dr. Ilona Grunwald Kadow has been elected as a member of the prestigious European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). This significant recognition is a testament to her exceptional contributions to the field of neuroscience and her groundbreaking research on the neural circuits of state-dependent behavior.
Prof. Dr. Ilona Grunwald Kadow, based at the Universität Bonn, focuses her research on understanding how the communication between the body and brain regulates behavior. Utilizing model organisms, behavioral analysis, computational methods, (opto)genetics, and in vivo functional imaging and microscopy, her work has provided profound insights into the mechanisms underlying state-dependent behavior.
The iBehave network, dedicated to advancing behavioral neuroscience, is proud to count such an esteemed scientist among its members. Her election to EMBO is not only a personal achievement but also a significant accolade for our community, reflecting the high caliber of research and innovation within our network.
Dr. Grunwald Kadow's pioneering research explores the complex interactions between neural circuits and behavior, providing crucial knowledge that bridges the gap between physiological states and behavioral outcomes. Her work exemplifies the mission of iBehave, which seeks to unravel the intricacies of behavior through collaborative, interdisciplinary research.
The election of 120 new members, including 100 EMBO Members and 20 EMBO Associate Members, marks EMBO's 60th anniversary. This milestone celebrates decades of fostering excellence in life science research. Prof. Dr. Grunwald Kadow joins a distinguished group of scientists who have made significant contributions to our understanding of life sciences, including 92 Nobel laureates among the EMBO Membership.
EMBO Members are instrumental in shaping the organization's programs and activities, including evaluating funding applications, serving on EMBO Council and committees, and contributing to initiatives such as training, policy, outreach, and mentorship. Prof. Dr. Grunwald Kadow's election is a testament to her outstanding research and the high regard in which she is held by her peers.
The iBehave network congratulates Prof. Dr. Ilona Grunwald Kadow on this well-deserved recognition and looks forward to her continued contributions to the field of behavioral neuroscience.
