The Nedergaard Laboratory
Glial Disease and Therapeutics
The basic biology of glial cells in the CNS and the role of astrocytes in several neurological diseases, including stroke, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, tremor, and ALS.
Cell and Gene Therapy
GFAP-positive human astrocytes derived from human glial progenitors in vitro. GFAP is shown in magenta; cell nuclei (DAPI) are labeled in turquoise.
Neuron-glia Circuitry
The Hirase Laboratory investigates how astrocytes regulate ions in the brain to shape neuronal signaling, sleep rhythms, and vascular dynamics. By exploring these fundamental processes — and how they break down in neurological disease — the lab seeks new insights into brain health and disorder.
Astrocyte driven Ionostasis
The Untiet Laboratory investigates how astrocytes orchestrate ionic homeostasis in the brain, modulating neuronal excitability, sleep rhythms, and vascular function.
Pain volume transmission
The Kaag-Rasmussen Lab investigates how dynamic processes in the brain — including cellular communication and ion regulation — shape neuronal function and contribute to neurological health and disease.
Center for Translational Neuromedicine (CTN) is an international research center dedicated to developing innovative therapies for neurological diseases by combining cutting-edge neuroscience with translational approaches. With core expertise in stem cell biology, glial research, and in vivo imaging, CTN aims to understand and repair the diseased brain through cell and gene therapy. Based in both Copenhagen and New York, the center fosters strong interdisciplinary collaborations across academia, hospitals, and industry.
We actively seek new partnerships to advance our mission and welcome engagement from research institutions, clinical collaborators, and foundations who share our vision of transforming neuroscience into real-world treatments.
