BRAINSCAPES: A Roadmap from Neurogenetics to Neurobiology
Professor of Genetics Danielle Posthuma coordinates the research project BRAINSCAPES. The aim of BRAINSCAPES is to map in detail the biological mechanisms underlying brain diseases ('brainscaping'). The scientists involved in this research want to build an innovative bridge between genetics and neurobiology by making smart use of the wealth of results from the current genetic revolution, the availability of large biological datasets at the single cell level and the application of the very latest techniques from neurobiology. Posthuma works with a team of researchers from VU Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC, LUMC, TU Delft, UMCU and Hubrecht Institute.
