Direct in vivo reprogramming of resident human glial cells into midbrain dopaminergic neurons

Post Doc

University of Copenhagen

Mette Habekost, postdoc, Center for Translational Neuromedicine, has been awarded a Lundbeck Foundation postdoc grant worth DKK 2.500.000. She will use animal models to investigate whether glial cells could be reprogrammed into dopaminergic cells. This could be of significance for treating Parkinson’s disease.
