[Schubert, D. (Dirk)]

Dear all,

We will organize our second summers school "Hands-on course: human stem cell derived neuronal networks in health and disease" at the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen ( the Netherlands) from August 21 - August 28, 2026.
The course focuses on generating and  assessing human neuronal networks on the chip as well as on how to investigate key aspects of mechanisms underlying complex mental disorders.
Applications are open now! 

Deadline April 20 2026. For detailed information and registration please visit:
