We have an exciting new postdoc position in Newcastle, MRC funded, to investigate sight restoration using stem cell therapy in photoreceptor dystrophies. The candidate will be involved in state-of-the-art work, using stem cell cultures, in vivo imaging and retinal recordings.

Another fascinating paper from the Baden lab. Beautiful, congratulations!

🔓 Free to read this week! The authors present a novel approach to measure receptive fields in large and heterogeneous populations of sensory neurons recorded with large-scale, high-density multielectrode arrays. 🖱ow.ly/g5n350L6ctw Gerrit Hilgen Matthias Hennig Evelyne Sernagor
