We are the Kobow Lab, a dedicated research team led by Katja Kobow, specializing in Molecular Neuropathology at the Department of Neuropathology, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen, Germany.
Our work focuses on studying the intricate interplay between epigenetic alterations and the development of epilepsy, specifically in the context of the adult post-mitotic brain. Through our research, we aim to shed light on the role of epigenetic signatures in epilepsy-associated phenotypes and explore their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
We invite you to explore our website and learn about the exciting advancements made by our team members while studying the mysteries of epigenetics in epilepsy and applying this knowledge in molecular neuropathology.

The long and windy road to publishing
There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that (maybe not only?) we scientists know – the slow unraveling of time between the first spark of an idea and the moment it finally becomes public. What begins as curiosity and excitement often turns into a marathon of experiments, re-analyses, revisions, rejections, rethinking, and rewordings. Each step is…
Resilience, Degeneracy, and Discovery
Just returned from ten intense and inspiring days in Portugal, first at the Workshop On the Neurobiology of EPilepsy (WONOEP) in Cascais, then at the International Epilepsy Congress 2025 in Lisbon. At WONOEP, the big theme this year was the resilient brain and the idea of degeneracy, that means, how multiple pathways can serve similar…
Freedom to think
Since 2002, every summer in July (except for a short break during COVID), a small group of international students and tutors in the epilepsy field gather on San Servolo, a quiet green island just across the water from Venice. Removed from the noise of everyday clinical routines and research deadlines, this setting over 12 days…
