Peter Bedner studied biology at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn. He received a Ph.D. at the Institute of Genetics, Univerity of Bonn, on the functional analysis of the permeability of gap junction channels for second messengers. Subsequently he spent one year in the Calcium Signals Lab at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore where he worked on the cell type-specificity of intracellular distribution and diffusion of calmodulin. Since 2006 he is a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Cellular Neurosciences, University of Bonn. His main field of research is the analysis of the impact of glial cells on signal processing in the healthy and diseased brain.
