Description
The Göritz laboratory investigates barriers to axonal regeneration and functional recovery in the adult CNS, specifically focusing on fibrotic scarring and its interactions with various cellular components post-injury. The selected candidate will utilize genetic mouse models, advanced spatial single-cell profiling, and targeted pathway manipulation to uncover principles that could enhance CNS regeneration and repair, with implications for human disease.
