Mareike Albert: Gene regulatory mechanisms of neocortex development and evolution

The third NeuroNA Human Cellular Neuroscience Seminar will be hosted by the Brain Mind Institute at EPFL. It is jointly organized by NeuroLéman Network members at EPFL, UNIGE, CHUV and UNIL and supported by the NeuroNA Foundation.

Prof. Mareike Albert

Jeudi 12 décembre 2024 - 16h00 à 17h00

EPFL SV1717 ou En ligne

Conférencière(s) ou conférencier(s): Mareike Albert Dresden University of Technology, Germany

The Human Cellular Neuroscience Seminar series, supported by the NeuroNA Foundation, informs the NeuroLéman community about progress on studies on brain development, stem cells and organoids, and mechanisms of brain and psychiatric disorders. The seminars take place alternately in Geneva at Campus Biotech (EPFL/UNIGE) and in Lausanne (CHUV/UNIL) and are also available online.

This time, the seminar will be hosted by Prof. Fides Zenk, NeuroNA Chair in Epigenomics of Neurodevelopmental disorders at the Brain Mind Institute at EPFL. The speaker will be Prof. Mareike Albert (Dresden University of Technology, Germany), with the talk:

    “Gene regulatory mechanisms of neocortex development and evolution”

Mareike Albert is using cortical organoids from different species and from patients with neurodevelopmental disorders to decode the epigenetic regulation in neural stem cells. She received several awards including the Edmond H. Fisher Prize, BIF, CNV, and EMBO fellowships.

The seminar will take place at EPFL (SV1717) and also be available online.

Host: Prof. Fides Zenk
