Sven Hildebrand is a Research Assistant Professor at Maastricht University, working in Prof. Alard Roebroeck's group on structural investigations of the human neocortex. His research primarily focuses on developing 3D histological techniques and optical tissue clearing methods for labeling. With a background in biology, he has a keen interest in human neuroanatomy and the organization's brain across different animals. He began his academic career in 2009 at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg in Germany, where he obtained his B.Sc. in Biology. He furthered his studies by acquiring an M.Sc. in Technical Biology from Technische Universität Darmstadt and worked as a research assistant for nine months in Prof. Ralf Galuske's lab. This experience fueled his fascination with neuroanatomy and histology, leading him to pursue a PhD at Maastricht University starting in 2016 under the supervision of Prof. Alard Roebroeck, focusing on the development of optical clearing methods for human brain tissue, which he completed in 2021 with cum laude distinction. In 2023, he continues as an Assistant Professor within Prof. Roebroeck's group, investigating human neocortical anatomy at the meso- and microscale.
