How to get there

By train

From Freiburg Hbf (Central station) take tram line 4 (to station: Hauptstraße), local train connections (direction Offenburg) to station Freiburg Herdern (only 1 station) or bus line 27 (to station: Herdern Kirche) and then by foot: 5 minutes

By car

From south (e.g. Basel): Motorway A5 Basel-Karlsruhe; take gateway 62: „Freiburg Mitte” (Center). Take the B31a direction “Freiburg/Donaueschingen”. Take B3 (exit “Merzhausen”) and turn right onto Stefan-Meier Straße. After the prison turn right onto Tennenbacherstraße and then turn left on Habsburgerstraße. The Hauptsraße is the third turn on the right side. From north (e.g. Karlsruhe): Motorway A5 Karlsruhe-Basel; take gateway 61: „Freiburg Nord” (North). Take the B294 direction “Freiburg-Nord/Waldkirch/Elztal/Glottertal/Gundelfingen”. Follow B294/B3 until you arrive at Habsburgerstraße. Then turn left into the Hauptstraße.

By airplane

Approx. 1 hour bus ride from the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg or 2 to 3 hours by train or car from Frankfurt, Stuttgart or Zürich airports.

The lab of Andrew Straw studies neural circuits and behavior at the University of Freiburg, Germany. By developing advanced technical systems such as virtual reality arenas, they investigate the mechanistic basis of visual behaviors such as navigation in Drosophila: Neural circuits for vision; Engineering tools for quantitative behavior; Mapping neural circuits for visual locomotor guidance in Drosophila; How flies resolve conflicting visual information – cells and models
