Welcome to the Städele Laboratory

Tick Neurophysiology
EXPLORING THE SENSORY WORLD OF TICKS
Understanding how ticks sense their environment, find hosts, and make behavioral decisions.
At the Städele Laboratory, we investigate the sensory and neuronal mechanisms underlying host-seeking behavior and host preference in ticks. By combining neurophysiological, anatomical, and behavioral approaches, we aim to uncover how these remarkable animals perceive and interact with their environment.
OUR RESEARCH
Our work focuses on understanding how sensory information guides tick behavior, from the detection of environmental cues to the neuronal processes underlying host selection.
WHY TICKS?
Ticks are more than just vectors of infectious diseases. Their remarkable ability to detect and locate hosts makes them fascinating organisms for studying sensory processing and behavior.
Understanding how ticks navigate their sensory world not only addresses fundamental questions in neuroscience but may also inspire new approaches to tick control.
