Institute of Experimental Neuroregeneration

The Institute of Experimental Neuroregeneration is at the forefront of advancing knowledge and innovative treatments in the field of neuroregeneration. With a commitment to unraveling the complexities of the nervous system and developing innovative therapies, the Institute brings together a multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists. The Institute of Experimental Neuroregeneration is not only a hub for scientific discovery, but also plays a crucial role in educating the future generation of neuroscientists and medical professionals.

Research at the institute focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying neuroregeneration, including neural stem cell biology, synaptic plasticity, and inflammatory processes. Projects are aimed at promoting the regenerative potential of the nervous system to enable healthy aging and treat neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. The Institute of Experimental Neuroregeneration strives to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications.

Our state-of-the-art laboratories are equipped for advanced imaging techniques, molecular biology, electrophysiology, pre-clinical surgical interventions and in vivo functional assessments, and bioinformatics. These enable our team to explore novel approaches for promoting neuroregeneration. Leveraging the knowledge gained on processes of regeneration in the central nervous system, we also apply this understanding to further the regeneration of muscles, the effectors of the nervous system.

Our research focuses are:
•    Preclinical models of spinal cord injury
•    Stem and progenitor cell-based therapies
•    Brain maturation and neuroplasticity
