A "Brain Research Platform" is being established at IBG
The first joint meeting to establish a ‘Brain Research Platform’ at IBG was held on 13 March 2019 at IBG Aziz Sancar Auditorium with the participation of faculty members of Dokuz Eylul University and IBG researchers.
The meeting participants included scientists from various disciplines including Neurology, Psychiatry, Pediatric Neurology and Pediatric Psychiatry. The participants discussed the work plan and requirements to identify a roadmap for Brain Research. The need for electrophysiological mechanisms for the monitorisation of patients through imaging, storage of biological material via biobanking, clinical research and in vitro studies was underlined. Particular emphasis was given to the significance of induced stem cells and brain organoids for disease modelling and drug screening, as well as the necessity of choosing zebrafish for in-vivo disease modelling.
All researches wanting to join the “IBG Brain Research Platform”, for which we will continue to have regular meetings, can contact Dr. Şermin Genç.
