The Chair of Cell Biology, is part of the Biomedical Center (BMC) of the Faculty of Medicine at LMU and they are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher.
This work offers a unique opportunity to address a fundamental question in neuroscience: why does the mammalian brain fail to regenerate, and how can this limitation be overcome?
The project has strong translational potential, aiming to lay the groundwork for novel therapeutic strategies to promote neuronal replacement and functional recovery after stroke.
