Bioengineering approaches to understand, model and modify healthy and pathological CNS (NET-CNS)

Description

This Thematic Network brings together IBEC researchers to explore cutting-edge developments in various aspects of the central nervous system (CNS), ranging from basic research to innovative therapeutic strategies. This network promotes interdisciplinary efforts to explore new therapeutic strategies and address CNS diseases and conditions. Through a series of focused workshops, participants will explore neurodegenerative disease pathways, regeneration after CNS injury, advanced in vitro CNS modelling, overcoming therapeutic barriers such as drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier, and cutting-edge neuroengineering technologies such as soft electronics and robotic assistive devices. The network/program will culminate in a final retreat where members will discuss workshop findings, propose collaborative projects for evaluation, and assess potential innovations for future development. These collaborative efforts aim to integrate diverse knowledge, accelerate therapeutic innovation, and establish new collaborations between IBEC members interested in neuroscience.

NET-CNS counts on the participation of the following IBEC research groups:
