Martin Heisenberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Heisenberg (b. 7 August 1940) is a German neurobiologist and geneticist. As of 2006, he is the chair for genetics and neurobiology at the bio centre of the University of Würzburg.
The son of Werner Heisenberg, Heisenberg studied chemistry and molecular biology in Munich, Tübingen and Pasadena. In 1975 he became Professor of genetics and neurobiology at the University of Würzburg. Heisenberg's work has focused on the neurogenetics of Drosophila (the fruit fly), with the aim of investigating the genetic foundations of the Drosophila brain by studying the effect of genetic mutations on brain function.
Martin Heisenberg is also the father of film director Benjamin Heisenberg.
