1 'Neuroinflammation, excitotoxic and neurodevelopmental disease induce specific forms of Neuronal plasticity: Towards novel platforms for pharmacological screening and biomarker discovery?’ 3U-COEN Centre of Excellence in the Neurosciences Department of Physiology and Medical Physics, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Dr Hans-Georg Koenig Lecturer in Physiology hgkoenig@rcsi.ie We do: Disease programmes ALS Alzheimer’s disease Neuroinflammation Stroke Thematic areas: Excitotoxicity Axon-initial segment & axonal plasticity Neural Stem cells & Neurospheres NF-  B and Growth-factor signaling We have : Live cell imaging LSM and High-content imaging facilities and broad Neuro culture know how!

2 We seek: Natural compounds/libraries towards: –AIS / Axon-protective strategies –Neuroprotective strategies –Affect axon-specification –Anti-inflammatory –Preservation of Mitochondrial respiration –‘Neuroenhancer’ potential Peptide biomarker screening Nanoparticles transduction of neurons / stem cells Blood-brain barrier model iNeurons & iPSCs
