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.

Every year, the Tavosanis Lab and us are invited into the home of our PIs to enjoy homecooked turkey, Frank's famous vegetarian Dal and other treats made by our hosts and the attendees. To conclude the dinner and open a cosy evening of drinks, chats, and music, the newest PhD Students of the lab traditionally prepare the German Feuerzangenbowle. This year Cedric and our exchange PhD Student Juan had the honour. A big thank you to Gaia and Frank for having us again this year and happy holidays to everyone!
