How do nerve cells stay healthy – and why do some die off?

Using nerve cells derived from stem cells, we are investigating what goes out of balance in neurodegenerative diseases.

Join us to discover the role played by intracellular transport and calcium signalling in these processes – and experience our research first-hand in an interactive talk!

We warmly invite you to join us!

Nerve cells cultured in microfluidic chambers. The nerve cells are located in chamber 1. Only their long extensions (axons) grow through the narrow channels (2) into the opposite chamber (3), where they form connections
