Biography
Martijn C. Sierksma is a postdoctoral associate of the Department of Neuroscience at Erasmus MC Rotterdam. He received his PhD from Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2018 for his work on neural activity during the formation of the calyx of Held synapse under the supervision of Prof. J. G. G. Borst. His postdoctoral work with Dr X. Nicol at the Vision Institute in Paris has focused on developmental interactions between adjacent retinal ganglion cells that inform the development of the retinogeniculate projection. He collaborated with Dr. R. Brette on the action potential backpropagation and the axial current at spike initiation for developing retinal ganglion cells. He is currently working on synapse development within the superior olivary complex that enable sound localization.
