The Adolf Messer Foundation is funding a study at the Institute for Cellular and Molecular Anatomy
Prof. Dr. Abdelhaq Rami, a scientist working at the Institute for Cellular and Molecular Anatomy, is investigating the molecular mechanisms that can lead to the destruction of nerve cells following a stroke or other form of brain damage. The aim is to elucidate the cell death machinery in order to develop new possibilities for therapeutic intervention in stroke cases. The study is being funded by 81,000 Euro from the Adolf Messer Foundation.
