We were delighted to welcome Prof. Robert Renden, Ph.D., from the University of Nevada. His lab is currently studying the energetic needs of presynaptic neurons. A big thank you to Prof. Robert Renden for giving us a new glimpse into the microscopic world of the presynapse! #DFG

We are recruiting two highly motivated PhD candidates for our project, Circadian Tuning of Synaptic Communication, at Leipzig University. More information and application details: uni-leipzig.b-ite.careers/jobposting/8... Please share with interested candidates!

We welcomed Prof. Kelly Monk from the Vollum Institute to speak about her research for last month’s seminar series. She studies the genetic and cellular make-up of astrocytes in the CNS. We thank Prof. Kelly Monk for her fascinating lecture and for sharing her expertise with our members. #DFG

We visited OTWorld - the world’s largest event for assistive technology and rehabilitation. Through symposia and hands-on workshops, we explored current innovations and left inspired to consider how fundamental research can help shape future solutions. Photo credits: Leipziger Messe #OTWorld #DFG
