Anke M. Tukker's research focuses on developing and using lab-grown neuron models—including neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs, cells reprogrammed from adult tissue to behave like early-stage stem cells)—to test how chemicals and drugs affect brain cell activity and seizure risk, without relying on animal testing. This work supports safer, more human-relevant methods for screening environmental toxins and drug candidates for effects on the nervous system.

Publication output has been relatively steady at a low level (about 1-4 papers per year) over the last decade, with a modest, fairly consistent pace rather than strong growth or decline.
