Jakob Balslev Sørensen is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, where he leads research into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurotransmitter release at chemical synapses. His academic background includes an M.Sc. in Biology and a PhD in Biophysics from the University of Copenhagen, followed by a habilitation in pre-clinical physiology from Georg August University in Göttingen. Sørensen's key research interests include the study of synaptic transmission, mechanisms underlying neurotransmitter release, and the cellular basis of synaptic dysfunction linked to neurological disorders. His work employs a range of techniques, including optical and electrophysiological measurements, as well as molecular biology approaches, and is currently expanding to the use of cryo-electron microscopy to visualize proteins in their native cellular environments. Sørensen has held several significant academic leadership positions and is an active member of various professional societies and editorial boards.
