1st USIAS Fellows Seminar

Re-wiring the brain : Growing neurons with silk nanofibers

Michael Reber, Fellow 2012, Institut of Cellular and Integrative Neuroscience (INCI)

Is it possible to re-grow neurons? Can we restore an optic nerve after an accident? Those are some of the questions that Michael Reber in the frame of his USIAS projects, Biofunctionalized silk-nanofibers promote neuronal regeneration. During the first USIAS interdisciplinary seminar, he presented his recherches to the other USIAS Fellows and engaged in a lively and interactive discussion between specialists and neophyte.
