About Christof Koch

Acclaimed neuroscientist Christof Koch is renowned for his contributions to the quest for a biology of consciousness. During a celebrated, sixteen-year collaboration with Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA, Koch developed a pioneering account of the underlying neuronal bases of visual perception, attention, and consciousness. He is also credited with advancing the fundamental premise of this quest—that the relationship between consciousness and neural systems can be approached using the modern tools of neurobiology. Koch has held the position of Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology at Caltech since 2000.
