Stefan Bittner is senior physician at the Department of Neurology of the University Hospital in Mainz. He is a professor for neuroimmunology and got his prior training at the University of Würzburg and University of Münster. The main research interests of his group for experimental neuroimmunology are ion channel-mediated regulation of immune cell and CNS functions and live-imaging of neuroinflammatory processes in the CNS tissue.

The main interest of our group is the understanding of (patho-)physiological mechanisms underlying the crosstalk between the immune and central nervous systems. These complex and dynamic interactions are especially relevant in autoimmune diseases of the CNS such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Using broad technical expertise ranging from molecular biological, immunological and electrophysiological methods to animal experiments in disease models and blood and tissue samples from patients with multiple sclerosis.
