Summary

This symposium brings together leading experts in the field of single cell biology and neuroscience. A broad range of approaches will be covered, ranging from single cell genomics and transcriptomics to imaging.

Content

This symposium will cover genetic, epigenetic, molecular and cellular aspects of the nervous system, including its development and age-related diseases.

 

Our focus will be the integration of extensive multimodal datasets, facilitating the construction of accurate functional models of the healthy and diseased brain.

 

The meeting is destined to ignite new partnerships and to blend diverse research domains to enable translational breakthroughs.

 

Students will be evaluated based on a written meeting report (max. 1 page) alone or in groups of two in the weeks after the symposium took place.

Note

The course is given inside the framework of a symposium. Please see the website.

Invited speakers:
Elisabeth Binder, MPI Munich; Joe Ecker, Salk Institute; Mario Suva, Harvard Stem Cell Institute; Gonçalo Castelo Branco, Karolinska Institute; Kristen Brennand, Yale University; John Rubenstein, UCSF; Barbara Treutlein, ETH Zurich; Bosiljka Tasic, Allen Institute;  Ana Pombo, Max-Delbrück Center Berlin; Maria Cristina Gambetta, University of Lausanne; Long Cai, Caltech

By the end of this course the students will understand how single approaches and in vitro system can be used to study development and disease progression.
