Welcome to "Demyelination and remyelination in neurodegeneration: from molecule to clinical application" a workshop within the frame of the Human Brains, Preserving the Brain initiative an effort between Karolinska Institutet and Fondazione Prada.

Human Brains is the result of an in-depth research process undertaken by Fondazione Prada in 2018 in the field of neuroscience. The initiative has been driven by a deep interest to understand the human brain, the complexity of its functions and its centrality to human history.

The partnership between Karolinska Institutet and Fondazione Prada aims to stimulate an open and critical exchange between scientists, experts on neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis etc and the general public.
