Topic: Adult stem cells obtained from hippocampal slice cultures
Principle investigator: I. Eyüpoglu, J. Romstöck, MD, I. Blümcke, MD
ELAN-Fonds for Research and Teaching at the University Medical Center
Topic: Mutational analysis cell-cyclus regulating genes in pituitary adenomas
Principle investigator: J. Kreutzer, MD and R. Buslei, MD
ELAN-Fonds for Research and Teaching at the University Medical Center
Topic: Molecular “Fingerprint” of human focal epilepsies
Principle investigator: Ms. A. Peters, MD, J. Romstöck, MD, I. Blümcke, MD
In cooperation with the working groups at the Erlangen Epilepsy Center (ZEE) we focus on molecular pathogenesis and epileptogenesis of human focal epilepsies. Using Affymetrix-gene chip analysis, expression patterns within the epileptogenic neocortex will be compared with that of adjacent non-epileptogenic tissues.
