Brain Health ARC visits the ReALity Institute in Mainz, Germany

In November, a Scottish delegation of neuroscientists, sponsored by the Brain Health ARC, were welcomed to the ReALity Institute in Mainz to present their work and develop new collaborations.

The workshop, titled Molecular Communication in Brain Health, is part of a series between the “Scotland Hub” and the ReALity Institute, designed to promote connections between Scotland and the Rheinland-Pfalz region of Germany.

The Scottish delegation included Prof Frank Gunn-Moore (University of St Andrews and the Brain Health ARC), Dr Rosie Jackson (University of Dundee), Dr Philip Hasel (University of Edinburgh), Prof Jenna Gregory (University of Aberdeen), and Dr Fiona Kerr (Edinburgh Napier University and the Brain Health ARC).

Prof Frank Gunn-Moore said: "It was a great meeting showcasing the excellent research in these two centres ranging from the molecular to the clinical, from new diagnosis methods to potential treatments. As ever, we were extremely well looked after; sampling both local wine and beer, and the largest schnitzels that any of us had ever seen."
