PhD in Neuroscience

The SYNERGY project aims to unravel the mechanisms of neuronal stress and recovery in the ischemic penumbra — the zone of partially injured but potentially recoverable neurons surrounding a brain infarct./nUsing advanced in-vitro models, we study how metabolic stress affects neuronal network function and how recovery can be enhanced, with the eventual goal to translate findings to the clinic./nThe project bridges experimental neurobiology, biophysics, and computational analysis to provide mechanistic insight into neuronal survival pathways and guide future translational approaches for patients with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury./nLocation: University of Twente, Twente, Netherlands.
