“The participating centers come with different expertise and tools that are on the frontline of the stem cell, gene therapy, imaging and optogenetic fields.

Therefore the consortium NG4Leuko provides substantial added value by creating a multidisciplinary environment to tackle complex research questions and to promote innovative solutions. Each of the partners will benefit from the exchanges. This is a unique international research programme focusing on investigating affected neuron-glia interactions in leukodystrophies. The complementary expertise and tools available in the consortium not only enhance the quality of the research, it also accelerate research progress, ultimately creating starting points for novel treatments.”
