Welcome
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the NeuroD2 symposium Mechanisms in Neurodevelopment and Neurodegeneration — From Molecules to Medicine in Aarhus, Denmark, November 26-27, 2015. Join us to present your most recent research on neurogenesis and degenerative disorders of the brain and meet your colleagues.
The scientific program covers a broad range of topics including:
- Striatal neurogenesis
- Differentiation of specific types of neurons
- Induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells as model systems
- Disease mechanisms of Huntington disease and Parkinson disease
- Expanded CAG repeat mRNAs
- Brain pathologies of neurodegenerative disorders
- Development of novel therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative disorders
Internationally renowned experts have accepted our invitation to give a lecture. A poster session allows you to network and engage with colleagues in an active discussion about your research.
Program
We look forward to welcoming you to Aarhus.
