The Brain Conference: Establishment and Maintenance of Brain Cell States

External Event - 23rd to 26th Apr 2022

Venue: Rungstedgaard, Denmark

Organizers: FENS, Lundbeck Foundation

The brain is made up of multiple cell types, predominantly neurons and glia, whose structures and interactions determine nervous system function. At the molecular level, each cell is defined during development by accurate specification of gene expression patterns. Also crucial are mechanisms that stabilise the various cell states once established, sometimes over many decades. Failure of these processes contributes to neurological disorders associated with aging and disease.

This conference will feature the latest research covering genetic and epigenetic mechanism responsible for creating and maintaining the integrity of the brain.
