Lectures and seminars Lecture: "Inducing a Schwann cell-like repair phenotype in oligodendrocytes enables axonal regrowth after injury"

Title

"Inducing a Schwann cell-like repair phenotype in oligodendrocytes enables axonal regrowth after injury"

Speaker

Prof. Dr. Claire Jacob, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Faculty of Biology, Institute of Developmental Biology and Neurobiology

Claire Jacob is a Professor of Cellular Neurobiology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, since 2018. Prof. Jacob’s research group investigates how chromatin-remodeling enzymes control the maintenance and regeneration of the nervous system after an injury, focusing on the functions of myelinating cells, Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, in these processes.
