Welcome to Developmental and Regenerative Neurobiology

Research Groups

Our research represents a broad approach to studies of brain development and repair with special focus on genetic and epigenetic regulation of cell fate determination, during development and in stem cell cultures. Our in vivo focus is on animal models of Parkinson's disease and development of novel approaches to brain repair.

New genetic technique converts skin cells into brain cells

2012-01-09

A research breakthrough has proven that it is possible to reprogram mature cells from human skin directly into brain cells, without passing through the stem cell stage. The unexpectedly simple technique involves activating three genes in the skin cells; genes which are already known to be active in the formation of brain cells at the foetal stage.
