Research Neuronal development We focus in the field of axon guidance and neuronal migration during development. It is well established that both of these events are crucial to the patterning of specific neural connections that are set-up during development. In particular we are working with signals that are mediating contact-dependent guidance and migration. Ongoing research projects includes:
MyelinationWe are interested in the molecular organization and functional architecture of myelinated fibers. Myelinated fibers are organized into distinct functional domains. The proper organization of myelinated fibers is crucial for the rapid propagation of action potentials along the axon. In pathological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or a number of neuropathies, the architecture of myelinated fibers is disrupted. Ongoing projects include analysis of:
