Sonja Blumenstock (Visiting Scholar)
Sonja studied Biochemistry and Neuroscience in her hometown Regensburg, Germany. She then earned her PhD at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, studying molecular and structural signatures of dendritic spine pathology in neurodegeneration. Advancing her postdoctoral work with the Max-Planck-Institute of Neurobiology, she now moved to UCSD as a visiting scholar to pursue her scientific ambition to uncover the driving components of network dysfunction in neurodegenerative movement disorders.
Sonja enjoys climbing, baking bread and playing her favorite instruments, the Ukulele and her voice. She almost always has a song stuck in her head, which she might be heard humming to herself.
