We decipher how neurons grow and regenerate their axons. From basic cellular mechanisms to in vivo growth and regeneration via pharmacological interventions and rehabilitation, we strive to understand these processes to aid the fight against neuro traumatic injuries and neurodegenerative disease.

Since 2009 a small group of labs from the axon repair field meet to discuss their most recent advances in an informal "extended lab meeting" format. This year we got to host the meeting in Bonn and Juliane and Eissa were eager to take on the challenge of organizing this event. Our little conference was an absolute blast with all around great talks and discussions. Thank you to our great organizers and all the active participation.
