Participation in Working Groups

  • WG4 - Mechanobiological principles of rare and common diseases

Research Interests

My research focus is the role astrocyte in CNS disease; the role of astrocyte intermediate filament proteins in astrocyte activation in the diseased CNS and regeneration and plasticity of CNS.

Technologies offered to other EuroCellNet participants

Mouse models of CNS trauma and disease, mouse motor performance and congnitive tests.
