Research has shown that atherosclerosis in mice is driven by very few smooth muscle cells that have a massive cell division. In the coming research Professor Jacob Fog Bentzon will try to uncover whether the same is true in humans and whether we can affect the altered vascular smooth muscle cells in a way that makes the disease better.

Ultimately, the goal is to find new ways of treating late atherosclerosis in humans, Jacob Fog Bentzon says about his DKK 15 million research project.

It will be 2050 before we reach our goals

Study abroad, stay in touch with your research group during maternity leave, create a family-friendly work culture and establish clear career paths. Both the women employed there and Health as an organisation got some good advice when the faculty held its seminar on a better gender balance in research.

The eight Cold Spring Harbor conference on Neuronal Circuits in USA 2020 - VIRTUAL MEETING

A comprehensive description of neuronal circuitry, an old dream of neuroscientists, is about to become a reality with recent technological advances. As these advances have been made in different model organisms and systems, there is a need for a forum where neuroscientists studying various neuronal circuits could exchange ideas.
