About this event

  • 2 days 1 hour

Advancements in novel technologies over the last decade and their implementation in neuroscience have significantly accelerated neuroscience research and the development of diagnostic tools in neuropathology. Many of these technologies have transformed the capabilities of a neuroscientist and neuropathologist in the 21st century.

In this summer school, the audience will have the opportunity to learn about novel technologies paving the way for innovative neuroscience research and how these tools and approaches are implemented in diagnostic practice and study for a range of neurological diseases.

During the summer school, experts in the corresponding field will explain each tool's scientific principles, followed by an overview of the potential utility, with examples of application in research and diagnostics of neurodegenerative diseases and neurooncology.
