In cooperation with the Harvard European Alumni Training Network (HEAT-Net) Göttingen will host the scientific meeting 'Neurodegeneration: from bench to bedside' from 6 to 8 September 2021.
HEAT-Net is composed of a unique constellation of Harvard-trained European clinicians and researchers with solid track records in the field of neurodegeneration. The HEAT-Net members were trained in the laboratories of four renowned neuroscience laboratories at Harvard Medical School (HMS). After returning to Europe, the HEAT-Net members felt the need to implement a network that enabled them to maintain the same high-level of academic research, contributing for the training of new generations of scientists, and maintaining strong connections to their mentors at HMS.
An important aim of HEAT-Net is to create a group of young scientists with a broad, yet unique, translational overview of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. This will foster their abilities to form scientific collaborations throughout their professional lives. By focusing around a common topic and by experiencing the strong professional and interpersonal ties between all HEAT-Net partners, the students will be engaged in close collaborative links and will benefit from joint project discussions.
