'Neuroinflammation, excitotoxic and neurodevelopmental disease induce specific forms of Neuronal plasticity:
• •
Towards novel platforms for pharmacological screening and biomarker discovery ?’ 3U-COEN Centre of Excellence in the Neurosciences Department of Physiology and Medical Physics, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland We do: Disease programmes
•
ALS
•
Alzheimer’s disease
• •
Neuroinflammation Stroke
Dr Hans-Georg Koenig
Thematic areas:
•
Excitotoxicity
• Lecturer in Physiology [email protected]
Axon-initial segment & axonal plasticity
• •
Neural Stem cells & Neurospheres NF-
k
B and Growth-factor signaling We have
:
Live cell imaging LSM and High-content imaging facilities and broad Neuro culture know how!
We seek:
•
Natural compounds/libraries towards:
– AIS / Axon-protective strategies – – – Neuroprotective strategies Affect axon-specification Anti-inflammatory – – Preservation of Mitochondrial respiration ‘Neuroenhancer’ potential • • • •
Peptide biomarker screening Nanoparticles transduction of neurons / stem cells Blood-brain barrier model iNeurons & iPSCs
