Research Statement

Some years ago, it was still assumed that the adult brain does not have the potential for cellular regeneration. This view has dramatically changed. Now we know that stem cells that are present in the brain to generate new nerve cells. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying these processes. This includes the understanding of the identity and the fate of neural stem cells. The knowledge might generate novel therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.
