Explore our science, meet our people
Browse through our 2018 brochure to learn more about what the more than 300 scientists in our 16 different research groups are up to.
From brain wiring to protein aggregation and neuroinflammation, the best science is done with the best technology and, of course, the best brains.
You can find out more about the work we do through our YouTube channel. We regularly post updates about our recent research results.

Throughout his career, Dr Polleux has focused on the identification of the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal development in the mammalian brain. More recently, his lab started studying the genetic basis of human brain evolution as well as the signaling pathways underlying synaptic loss during early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease progression.
