A very busy stand at the #LangeNachtDerForschung teaching little kids how to reprogram #stemcells , how #brain #organoids look like, and what can be achieved in #clinicaltrials .

Without #science, there's no #future!
Our team participated in today's march in Innsbruck "Krach für die #Wissenschaft, weil's ohne Wissenschaft kracht!" Make some noise to support #publicscience #education and #funding
Great work from our PhD student Bea for her talk at the #LifeSciencePhDmeeting on neuronal population growth dynamics in #organoids. And congratulations to our Master student Lara for winning the best picture award. There were also amazing poster contributions from our lab members.

Congratulations to our #PhD candidate Amelie Schurer for being awarded the Forschungspreis 2025 by the Wirtschaftskammer Tirol. Amelie's work focused on identifying #genes involved in human #brain #aging using #organoids
We are happy to share that Angeliki's #research has been funded from the Tiroler Wissenschaftsfonds! This generous support from the State of Tirol will enable us to advance our research in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders, strengthening our commitment to scientific excellence and innovation.
Our PostDoc Angeliki Spathopoulou finished 2025 with the Award of Excellence from the #BMFWF for her work on #stemcells applied to neuropsychiatric disorders.

New publication in #molecular #psychiatry together with Pharmacology at @uniinnsbruck
We present the first functional analysis of patient-derived #stemcells #neurons and #organoids carrying a CACNA1D variant.

Our lab is turning 10 years old!
Thank you very much to the current and former members, as well as collaborators, for a decade of excellent research at @uniinnsbruck
New paper is out! It was great to collaborate in the modelling of progressive #multiplesclerosis using #iNSCs , where the inflammatory response is maintained. We found disease-activated radial glia in this model, which is also present in post-mortem patient #brain tissue.
