About Us

The major research questions we aim to address are:

• How can the nervous system be repaired after traumatic injury?
• What molecular mechanisms lead to Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease?
• How is the nervous system normally maintained over an organism’s lifetime?
  

To understand these questions in neurobiology, we use the nematode C. elegans as our model system due its simplified and exceptionally well-characterised nervous system.
