Manipulating stem cells to increase neuron numbers in the adult mammalian brain: from cells to behaviour

Seminar

Date: Oct 1, 2015
Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Federico Calegari
DFG-Research Center and Cluster of Excellence for Regenerative Therapies, TU‐Dresden
Location: Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry
Room: Kraepelin Seminarroom

The goal of our laboratory is to control the expansion of neural stem cells (NSC) and the generation of neurons in the mammalian brain in order to understand the role of adult neurogenesis in brain function, behavior and therapy. [more]

Reconstructing human corticogenesis using single cell RNA-sequencing

MPI Psy Tuesday Seminar

Date: Jul 26, 2016
Time: 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Barbara Treutlein
Max Planck Research Group on Single Cell Genomics, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
Location: Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry
Room: Lecture Hall
Host: Silvia Cappello

Recent advances in the field of stem cell biology have made it possible to model human developmental processes in vitro. We combine stem cell based in vitro systems with single-cell transcriptomics analysis to reconstruct human organ development. In my talk I will present our efforts on reconstructing neurogenesis during two biological scenarios. [more]
