Prof. Magdalena Götz about the fascinating research on reprogramming glia cells and cell replacement therapy in the field of brain injuries

Magdalena Goetz Hector Wissenschaftspreis

Prof. Dr. Magdalena Götz has been awarded this year's 150,000 euro science prize by the Hector Foundation. The jury is thus recognizing the neurobiologist's outstanding research achievements.

Researchers around Magdalena Götz from Helmholtz Munich have made strides in direct neuronal reprogramming. This innovative approach transforms non-neuronal cells, specifically astrocytes, into functional neurons. Investigating patient-derived cells,…
