Team Leader Hanne Poulsen and her team studying P2P CPP has recieved a grant from ODIN. The P2P CPP project aims to develop safe methods to make biological drugs work inside cells

Last week the Matchpoint 2022 conference about "Our facinating brain" was held at Aarhus University and DANDRITE was present in large numbers, giving lectures, flash talks and chairing in numerous events.

Wen-Hsien Hou & Marco Capogna contributed to the discovery of a novel GABAergic neuron type of the mouse hippocampus associated with sharp wave ripples and memory, in collaboration with Ivan Soltesz’ group, Stanford, published in Neuron.

Assistant Prof. Azadeh Shashavar from Nissen Group is one of 7 talented young researchers to receive a fellowship from the Lundbeck Foundation. The grant enables Azadeh to establish her own research group at University of Copenhagen, where she and her team will study the structure and function of proteins that transport glycine and glutamine in the brain. Congratulations, Azadeh!

DANDRITE Team Leader Gilles Vanwalleghem studies communication between the gut and the brain, and how disruption of such can happen and affect immune function and behavior. Learn more about his research here.

Mariana Kuznietsova is new guest researcher in Poul Nissen’s group, where she will join the team working with studies of insulin receptor signaling and modulation by antagonist and agonists. Using also her recent experience from LLC Chemlaborreactiv in Kyiv and from her PhD project on insulin receptor modulators from plant, Mariana will be involved in insulin receptor purification and biochemical assays addressing the effect of co-receptors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The research plan includes aims of identifying well-characterized samples that can be subject to cryo-EM studies.
