The Faculty Day, June 8th, 2017 at 10.00–13.00, Stort Auditorium, Sentralblokken

Program and overview of the prize winners are here.

The annual Søren Falchs lecture will be held by Professor Fred (“Rusty”) Gage, San Diego, CA. He published in 1998 that the brain may develop new nerve cells in adult life. This discovery of brain plasticity occurs throughout life and represent a basis for regenerative medicine targeting replacement of damaged CNS tissue at for instance stroke, Alzheimers disease and trauma.

Fred Gage will talk on “Function and Regulation of Neurons born in the Adult Brain” Thursday June 8th at 11:00–11:45 in Store Auditorium.
