Накратко на български

Невроглията и нейните връзки с невроните се изследват чрез анализ на заболявания като епилепсията. Разбирането на тези механизми помага за разработването на по-добри терапии за мозъка и обучението на нови специалисти.

Training, Research and Raising of Public Awareness in Cell Biology and Pathology of Neuroglia

The brain, as the site of our personality, is the most vulnerable part of our body. Alone in Europe (EU member states, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland) with a population of 514 million citizens the direct and indirect economic burden of brain diseases have been estimated to be 800 billion € per year. Since elucidation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of brain function is an absolutely important prerequisite to understand the respective pathophysiological mechanisms and to develop novel and better brain therapies, training and education of neuroscientists will be of paramount importance to the future prosperous development of the European countries. The EU-GliaPhD ITN network will address three scientific and eight training objectives: (1) Identifying communication pathways between neurons and glia, analysis of the dysregulated brain using epilepsy as a central paradigm, and developing better research instrumentation and therapeutic targets. (2) Advanced training in modern life science methodology, understanding of animal and disease models, skilled use of (in vivo) electrophysiological and imaging techniques, insights into product development of health and research industry, training in data analysis and statistical evaluation, modern supervision and mentoring for fair leadership skills, awareness of intellectual property rights, and outreach activities for dissemination and communication to lay audiences.

Цел на проекта

The research in which the young scientists of the EU-GliaPhD consortium will be trained is centred on the role of neuron-glia interactions in brain function and pathology.Prompted by exciting discoveries of recent years, many academic research groups are currently focussing their research on the field of neuron-glia interactions for a better understanding of brain function. Also the private sector such as the pharmaceutical industry pays more and more attention to the role of neuroglia in various neuropathologies. These research activities create an increasing demand for outstanding young neuroscientists to join academia or industry. To address this need for neuroscientists with a strong knowledge in neuron-glia interactions, the EU-GliaPhD consortium of recognized European neuroscientists decided to initiate a training network in which young scientists, the EU-GliaPhD fellows will be educated in collaborative research projects to study neuron-glia interactions at the molecular, cellular and systems level in the healthy and the diseased brain. A strong emphasis will lie on epilepsy, a multi-faceted, chronic neurological disorder characterized by the frequent recurrence of seizures.The EU-GliaPhD consortium will focus on five important educational and training objectives:1. Broad training in several current state-of-art technologies that are highly relevant for brain research2. Teaching an in-depth understanding of molecular and cellular neurobiology and -pathology3. Focused specialization in defined research projects4. Training in dissemination of modern neuroscience research to expert and lay audiences5. Education in soft skills such as article writing, oral presentations or research ethicsBy studying epilepsy, fundamental questions on the cellular and molecular aspects of neuron-glia interaction can be addressed. Novel insight delivered by EU-GliaPhD may serve as basis for the development of novel strategies in treating brain disorders.
