Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Alfredo Oscar Caceres, Head of the Laboratory of Neurobiology at the Instituto Mercedes Martin Ferreyra (INIMEC-CONICET), Cordoba, Argentina. Professor Alfredo Caceres - multiple award winner - is internationally known for his studies of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development and maintenance of neuronal polarity. A particular focus has been the involvement of microtubules in axon-dendrite formation. Professor Caceres pioneered the use of monoclonal antibodies and antisense oligonucleotides, and of advanced techniques of optical microscopy in Latin America. During his stay in Germany, he will apply his profound knowledge of neuronal differentiation to studies of patient-derived induced pluripotent cells with the aim of elucidating pathological mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease. Professor Caceres is hosted by Dr. Thomas Jovin at the Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen. |
