Fiona Doetsch receives prestigious ERC research grant

As a Professor of Molecular Stem Cell Biology, Fiona Doetsch from the Biozentrum, University of Basel, bridges the world of stem cells and the world of neuroscience. In the funded ERC research project, Doetsch and her team…


New glial cells discovered in the brain: Implications for brain repair

The brain is malleable well into adulthood. Brain plasticity is not only due to the formation of new nerve connections. Stem cells present in the adult brain also generate new nerve cells. For more than a hundred years,…


Fiona Doetsch newly elected EMBO member

Today, the EMBO announced the election of Prof. Fiona Doetsch, research group leader at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, as a new member. This year, 63 scientists from 25 different countries, three being from…

Pregnancy remodels the brain: stem cells shape the sense of smell in mothers

Recognizing their offspring by smell ensures animal parents can nurture their own young. The research group led by Prof. Fiona Doetsch at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, has now demonstrated in mice that new nerve cells…


Distant brain regions selectively recruit stem cells

Our brain generates new neurons throughout life. A diversity of stimuli promotes stem cells in their niche to form neurons that migrate to their place of action. In an animal model Prof. Fiona Doetsch’s team at the…
